According to Chelseafc.com:
Visitors Wolverhampton Wanderers barely touched the ball all night, especially in the first half, and failed to force a single save from Edouard Mendy, but we were unable to find a way past their back five at Stamford Bridge.
Pedro Neto might have snatched something for Wolves when he hit the crossbar one-on-one with Mendy, but it would have been harsh in the extreme on Chelsea, with Mateo Kovacic, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Olivier Giroud and Kai Havertz all calling Rui Patricio into action.
It was Havertz who looked like he might have secured a dramatic first win for Tuchel right at the end, as his header looked goalbound with the goalkeeper beaten until a Wolves defender threw himself in front of the ball to deny our new head coach a memorable first victory.
