Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Gary O'Neil has admitted his side were punished brutally by a rampant Chelsea.
Gary O'Neil watched his Wolves side get ripped apart by a rampant Chelsea at the Molineux, thanks to a superb attacking display from Nicolas Jackso, Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke.
Despite coming back to level the game twice, Wolves' defending left a lot to be desired, eventually coming apart as Chelsea poured forward in the second half.

Gary O'Neil accepts Chelsea punishment
Speaking to Sky after the game, O'Neil admitted his side were punished for avoidable mistakes.
"Some catastrophic errors, I suppose. The three goals after half-time to take it from 2-2 to 5-2 are crazy. We started to lose our way and they punished us badly.
"From going 1-0 down, up until half-time, we were the better side. We equalised and then at 1-1 we were on top.
Then we give them a goal from the goal kick. We managed to bounce back again and go to 2-2. But I didn't see the second half coming.
Man of the Match Noni Madueke scored his first hat-trick in England, following a strong pre-season showing and a goal in mid-week.
The Blues return to Premier League action next Sunday against Crystal Palace at home.
