It didn’t take long for Wolves to provoke a reaction from the Molineux faithful during their Carabao Cup tie with Chelsea.
This was always going to be a tough fixture for a Wolves team struggling for form. Vitor Pereira’s XI to face Chelsea looked set to at least frustrate Enzo Maresca’s side with six defenders included.
But it would take five minutes for the clean sheet to disappear, when a stray pass from Tolu Arokodare fell to Andrey Santos. Insult would be added to injury at the quarter-hour mark when Tyrique George tapped in a second.
After that, the mood at Molineux dropped to the floor, and chants from the South Bank let Pereira and Wolves know exactly what the fans were thinking.

Wolves fans in the South Bank had a message for Vitor Pereira
Pereira’s popularity at Wolves was at an all-time low before a ball was kicked, but the instant capitulation of his side was the last straw for many in the crowd.
Feeling as though the game was a foregone conclusion by the 20-minute mark, fans in the South Bank made a prediction about the fallout.
It was always going to happen. Chants of ‘You’re getting sacked in the morning’ filled the air.
MORE WOLVES STORIES
Wolves fans came into this tie with hope, maybe not of a win, but of a performance from their team that they could be proud of. The first 20 minutes certainly did not provide that.
And when Estevao grabbed a third before the break, it sent a message that this would not be another two-goal comeback like we saw at the weekend.
It’s looking bleak.
