Chelsea ended their five-game winless Premier League run with a 3-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night at the Stamford Bridge.
Enzo Maresca’s side began the night in sixth place, but victory at Stamford Bridge takes them back up to fourth – above Manchester City whom they meet at the Etihad Stadium this Saturday evening.

Wolves’ inability to defend corners was on show once again as they didn’t deal with the second ball as James’ effort squeezed its way to Tosin Adarabioyo and he took one touch before finishing expertly. The goal was initially ruled out for an offside but was given after a VAR intervention.
However, Chelsea couldn’t hold onto the lead going into the break as Doherty capitalised on an error from Robert Sanchez to equalise on the stroke of half-time.
The Spaniard was bailed out by a compatriot in the second half as Marc Cucurella restored the home side’s lead with a fine finish after doing well to control Dewsbury-Hall’s flick-on before poking the ball past Sa. Moments later the Blues lead by two as Noni Madueke had a simple tap-in from right on the goal line after Chalobah had nodded the ball down following a set-piece.
