Liam Delap labelled a ‘thug’ as Chelsea striker is shown red card for two brainless bookings in seven minutes on return from injury against Wolves as Blues’ disciplinary woes deepen

Chelsea booked their place in the next round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night but they had to work hard to ease past Wolves. Indeed, the Blues were 3-0 up at the break and barely survived a late onslaught as they progressed following a 4-3 win at Molineux. However, supporters were quick to criticise Liam Delap, who was sent off on his first appearance since August.
