A home tie against Wolves was seen as a chance for Pochettino's side to get back on track.

However, Gary O'Neil's side were the better side on another frustrating afternoon for Chelsea fans at their home ground.

Matheus Cunha scored a hat-trick for the visitors with Axel Disasi also turning the ball into his own net.

Silva, who's contract expires at the end of the season, scored a consolation goal for Chelsea in the final minutes.

And it appears as though the Brazilian star's wife has had enough of seeing her husband suffer on the pitch.

Taking to social media, Belle Silva wrote: "It's time to change.

"If you wait any longer it will be too late."
