O'Neil concedes that they found it difficult to keep up with Chelsea during the match, especially as Noni Madueke scored a hat-trick for the visiting team.
Wolves boss Gary O'Neil offered no excuses after their 6-2 home defeat to Chelsea.AdvertisementAdvertisementHe said, "From 15-20 minutes into the game to half time we were the better side. We were in a really good moment. We shoot ourselves in the foot by letting them score from our goal kick and then after half time we come out and give ourselves a tough task.
"From there we weren't able to wrestle back any control and it is difficult emotionally, you end up out of shape and it looks open and easy for Chelsea."
On the start of the season,O'Neil added: "It's been a tough start for us, to play Arsenal and Chelsea. We've got a lot of things to sort out and then when we come up against teams that are more closely matched to ourselves we will cause them a lot of problems."
