(Reuters) - Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Gary O'Neil was concerned early on Sunday he did not have enough players for their Premier League game against Chelsea, but his worries turned into Christmas cheers as his side won 2-1 at Molineux.

Wolves became the first Premier League club to win a Christmas Eve fixture since Leeds United's 3-1 victory over Manchester United in 1995.
