"Chelsea were dealt an early blow when Marc Cucurella was sent off after 22 minutes for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by dragging down Wilson, with the referee's decision upheld following a VAR review. The Blues were then offered a reprieve as Wilson saw a brilliant first-half strike chalked off for an offside call against Raul Jimenez, which was confirmed after another VAR check."
"The lead did not last long, however, as Liam Delap drew Chelsea level just 17 minutes later, reacting quickest to open his Premier League account for the Blues with a timely poke from close range. Despite their best efforts, it wasn't to be for Chelsea, as the in-form Wilson produced another moment of magic, controlling Robert Sanchez's parry off Emile Smith Rowe's shot before drilling an 81st-minute winner into the bottom corner."
