Coach Thomas Tuchel missed a home win on his debut with Chelsea.
The Blues didn't get past a goalless draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The German coach did not have much preparation time, he was only officially presented on Tuesday evening.
“You can't imagine the last 48 or 72 hours.
It was all a bit surreal, ”Tuchel said before the game.
Frank Lampard was released from his duties on Monday.
Chelsea had more possession and dominated the game at Stamford Bridge.
The Wolves were defensive but very low and made it difficult for the hosts.
On the offensive, Kai Havertz in particular showed an appealing performance with the Londoners, Chelsea was particularly dangerous due to his forays from midfield.
Wolves with the greatest chance
The Wolves came by counterattack in front of the opposing goal.
Pedro Neto had the greatest chance when he lifted the ball alone in front of Chelsea keeper Benjamin Mendy on the top of the bar (71.).
In addition to Havertz, Antonio Rüdiger was also in the starting eleven at Chelsea, Timo Werner was not used at all.
He hadn't scored eleven match days before.
In the storm, the French Olivier Giroud was preferred to the ex-Leipzig.
"How am I supposed to make a fair selection after a day of training?" That was "totally unfair," said Tuchel before the game.
In the table, Chelsea remain in eighth place due to the 0-0.
The next opponent is Burnley FC at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
A few days later, Thomas Tuchel and the Blues are at José Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur for the London Derby.
