The Portugal international hammered home a sweet half-volley that left Kepa with no chance
Matheus Nunes scored a goal of the season contender as Wolves spoilt Frank Lampard’s return to the Chelsea dugout following a 1-0 win at Molineux on Saturday.
Wolves were on the front-foot throughout and deserved their win which came after a sweet finish by Nunes, the Portugal midfielder's first goal for the club since joining from Sporting Lisbon last August.
Nunes, who cost a club record £38m, hammered home on the half-volley after Kalidou Koulibaly failed to clear a lofted ball in the box, with his technique and precision making it too difficult for Kepa Arrizabalaga to get a hand on the ball.
Chelsea legend Lampard was predictably given a rapturous reception from the travelling fans at Molineux following his appointment as interim head coach 18 months after being sacked from the role.

Wolves spoil Lampard's return party as Chelsea lose again
Wolverhampton Wanderers compounded Chelsea's recent woes and handed Interim boss Frank Lampard his first defeat as returning Blues boss with a well-deserved 1-0 victory at the Molineux Stadium.
Yet the club's all-time record scorer was unable to stop the poor form that led to Graham Potter's sacking as mid-table Chelsea slumped to an 11th top-flight defeat of the season after failing to score for the third successive game.
Joao Felix forced a save from Jose Sa but Chelsea were disappointing and remain 11th after just two wins in 11 league games while Wolves eased their relegation fears as they moved to 12th on the table.
