Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino apologised to fans after their 4-2 home defeat to Wolves.

Matheus Cunha scored a hat-trick as Wolves dominated after overcoming Chelsea's opener scored by Cole Palmer.

Pochettino later said: "When we scored the game was for us. Then when we concede we start to feel nervous and we didn't manage well the stress.

"It was difficult to manage the team, the stress. We had chances for 2-2 but then we conceded the third. Disappointed, I apologise to the fans and thanks to those who stayed and supported the team until the end. We are sorry and so disappointed.

"Of course, I think we can change [the situation], we felt so disappointed after [the midweek 4-1 loss at] Liverpool and today it was 1-0 but [we made] too many mistakes which you can't afford to in the Premier League.

"We started to play with a nervousness, made rash decisions. We need to reset and be ready for the FA Cup [fourth round replay] on Wednesday against Aston Villa. Of course the disappointment is massive.

"We cannot go down, it is a tough moment, but it is a moment to be together and find solutions and try to help the team with our decisions.

"It is normal that we are not matching the history of the club. It is a different project and it is always a matter of time but it is difficult for me to always ask for time, time, time and it's normal that the patience is not infinite.

"We need to show more and the circumstances are difficult. We were good until Liverpool but after Liverpool and Wolves it is like everything is going wrong. We have been on a good run and we need to move on."
