WATCH: Matheus Cunha taunts Nicolas Jackson after scoring equaliser versus Chelsea

In the first half of Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea this afternoon, Nicolas Jackson and Matheus Cunha exchanged blows. After Cunha tied the score for the home team in the 27th minute, the two were seen fighting.

After scoring goals for respective sides, the two celebrities were obviously unhappy with one another and their feelings were running high. Cunha appears to have signalled to Jackson to stop talking before the altercation started.

In order to prevent any fighting, members from both sides had to separate themselves as they rushed in to end the debate. After Jackson gifted Chelsea the lead after just two minutes into the game, tensions had already started to rise. A fight also broke out between players from both teams as the visitors celebrated the opener.

Nicolas Jackson's header at the back post gave the Blues an early lead, and Chelsea's match against the Wolves sprang to life. Ever since, the match has been end-to-end, with both teams creating gaps in their defence to allow a wave of players to advance.

Ait-Nouri recovered the ball again in the centre of the pitch and moved towards the penalty area, giving Wolves fans a reason to celebrate their players' unwavering press. Cunha was set up by the full-back with an outside-of-the-boot ball, and the Brazilian scored past a defenceless Roberto Sanchez.

Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers end stunning first half at 2-2

Cole Palmer continued to rescue Chelsea with an incredible dink past José Sá to send the Blues back ahead, just moments after he had saved Malo Gusto from his second yellow card caution in the first half.

Jorgen Strand Larsen's debut goal in the Premier League gave the Old Gold their second equaliser, drawing Wolves back level. Once again, Rayan Ait-Nouri served as the mastermind, cutting in with a precise free kick from the left flank that landed on Toti's head. The Celta Vigo striker, who is on loan, deftly deflects the ball past Robert Sanchez by sticking out one of his long legs, and the centre defender does the right thing by nodding back across goal.
