Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino reveals how owners responded to harrowing Wolves defeat

Chelsea head coach has received words of encouragement from Todd Boehly and the board of directors after his team slumped to a dismal 4-2 defeat against Wolves at the weekend. Some predicted he may lose his job after the game, where Chelsea were comprehensively outplayed - now, however, it seems that this will not be the case.

While it seems Pochettino has the backing of the Chelsea board, the same could not be said for many Blues fans after their game against Wolves. Matheus Cunha ran rampant as their defence parted time and time again - he scored a hat-trick, with Wolves' other goal coming by the way of an Axel Disasi own goal. Meanwhile, the Blues' goals were netted by standout star Cole Palmer and veteran defender Thiago Silva.
