Chelsea Crush Wolves 3–0 in Dominant Stamford Bridge Display
Chelsea produced a commanding performance at Stamford Bridge to comfortably defeat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3–0, extending their strong Premier League run and tightening their grip on second place in the table. It was a match that truly reflected Enzo Maresca’s growing influence on his team — composed, patient, and ruthlessly efficient when chances arrived.
The first half was surprisingly quiet, with both sides locked in a tactical stalemate. Chelsea controlled possession, holding nearly two-thirds of the ball, but couldn’t find a breakthrough despite several promising moves down the flanks. Wolves, meanwhile, were mostly forced into a defensive shell, struggling to transition beyond midfield.
Things shifted dramatically after the break. The breakthrough came in the 51st minute when Malo Gusto fired Chelsea ahead, slotting home after a clever assist from Alejandro Garnacho. That goal broke the deadlock and lifted the home crowd to life, setting the tone for what was to come.

João Pedro then doubled the advantage in the 65th minute, finishing coolly from the centre of the box. His strike — a right-footed effort that found the top corner — marked his 100th Premier League appearance, a proud moment for the Brazilian. The third goal arrived just eight minutes later when Pedro Neto sealed the game with another sharp finish, once again assisted by Garnacho, who was arguably Chelsea’s liveliest player throughout the evening.
Wolves had almost nothing to respond with. They managed only one shot in the entire game — and none on target — a statistic that summed up their struggles. Their defence, though organized in the first half, fell apart under Chelsea’s relentless movement and pressure. The visitors have now gone 14 league games without a win, and this performance did little to suggest that streak will end soon.
Statistically, Chelsea were miles ahead. They recorded 16 shots to Wolves’ one, completed 484 passes with over 90% accuracy, and enjoyed 64% possession. Maresca’s men also looked sharp defensively, allowing virtually no danger near Robert Sánchez’s goal.
For Chelsea, this result not only consolidates their top-four ambitions but also demonstrates the confidence flowing through the squad. With six wins from their last nine Premier League matches, they seem to be rediscovering their identity — one built on fluid attacking football and tactical discipline.
As for Wolves, the story continues to be grim. Rooted to the bottom of the table with just two points from 11 games, their season is quickly slipping toward crisis. Unless something changes soon, relegation could become an inevitability rather than a threat.
At full-time, Stamford Bridge stood to applaud a complete performance — one that reminded everyone just how dangerous Chelsea can be when everything clicks.
