Wolves Fight Back as Drap Sees Red
The second half flipped the script — Wolves’ Hwang Hee-chan and Wolfe struck quickly to close the gap to 2-3. But the turning point came when striker Liam Delap, returning from injury after two months, received two yellow cards in just 25 minutes — the second for an unnecessary elbow. Reduced to ten men, Chelsea were under heavy pressure until Gittens’ late wonder goal made it 4-2.

Drap’s Discipline Problem Raises Concern
Delap’s stats tell the full story — 1 failed dribble, 4 lost possessions, 2 fouls, and 2 yellow cards. His reckless attitude drew harsh criticism from coach Maresca, who called it “a stupid mistake.” 12BET Malaysia insiders noted that this isn’t the first time Delap’s lack of discipline has overshadowed his potential. Last season, he collected 13 yellow cards in 40 matches — more than his 12 goals.

Big Talent but Bigger Temper
Once hailed as England’s next top striker, the Manchester City academy graduate joined Chelsea for €40 million this summer. But after missing two months through injury, his return ended in a red card — a painful reminder that discipline may define his future. 12BET Malaysia analysts believe that unless Delap matures mentally, his promising career could stall before it truly begins.
