A new angle of Raheem Sterling's horror miss during Chelsea's Premier League clash against Wolves has emerged.

Wolves hosted the Blues for their match week 18 at Molineux on Sunday afternoon, December 24, with Sterling's miss in the early exchange of the tie becoming a major talking point.

However, Sterling opted to take the shot on himself, rather than passing the ball to a team-mate for an open goal.

His effort was subsequently smothered by Jose Sa, with Sterling's apparent selfishness sparking anger and outrage from the Chelsea support base.
