Chelsea secured a 3-1 victory over Wolves, ending their five-match winless streak in the Premier League and rising to the top four.
After Tosin Adarabioyo’s early goal for Wolves was canceled out by Matt Doherty, Chelsea’s second-half surge led to goals from Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke in quick succession.
Cucurella, marking his 100th Premier League appearance, scored from close range following a cross from Madueke that Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall had flicked on. Just minutes later, Madueke headed in a corner delivered by Trevoh Chalobah, who was back from a loan spell at Crystal Palace.

The goals eased the pressure on Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, whose mistake allowed Doherty to equalize just before halftime. Sanchez, attempting to claim a high ball after moving off his line, was caught out by a pinpoint cross from Matheus Cunha.
Tosin’s initial goal, ruled offside by the referee, was awarded after a deflection from Reece James’ shot off a corner. The win lifts Chelsea into fourth place, two points ahead of Manchester City and Newcastle United, while Wolves remain 17th, just above the relegation zone on goal difference.
