Chelsea achieved a convincing 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge, moving them up to second place in the Premier League. The match was characterized by a lackluster first half, which ended goalless despite Chelsea dominating possession. Frustration grew among home fans as their team struggled to penetrate a solid Wolves defense.
The breakthrough came in the 51st minute when right-back Malo Gusto scored his first goal for Chelsea, heading in a precise cross from Alejandro Garnacho. This goal revitalized the Chelsea squad, prompting them to intensify their offensive efforts. In the 65th minute, substitute Estevão made an immediate impact by assisting João Pedro, who doubled Chelsea’s lead with a calm finish.
Just eight minutes later, Pedro Neto, a former Wolves player, sealed the victory with Chelsea’s third goal, tapping in another excellent cross from Garnacho at the far post. Throughout the match, Chelsea’s defense was largely unchallenged, as Wolves failed to register a single shot on target. The visitors, who are currently without a permanent manager, have now gone nine league matches without a win and struggled to create any meaningful chances.
This victory marks Chelsea’s sixth league win of the season, bringing their total points to 20 after 11 matches. They trail league leaders Arsenal by six points and are eager to maintain this positive momentum as they aim to contend for the Premier League title in the upcoming fixtures. Overall, the match showcased Chelsea’s attacking prowess in the second half while highlighting Wolves’ ongoing struggles.
