The Blues took the lead in the 24th minute when Tosin Adarabioyo capitalized on a deflected shot from Reece James, slotting the ball home from close range. This marks Adarabioyo's third goal in as many games, following his recent FA Cup brace against Morecambe.
Despite Chelsea's dominance in the first half, Wolves managed to equalize in stoppage time. A mishandled corner by goalkeeper Robert Sánchez allowed Matt Doherty to tap in from close range, bringing the score to 1-1 at halftime.
In the second half, Chelsea regained control. Marc Cucurella restored the lead in the 60th minute, chesting down a cross and bundling the ball into the net. Five minutes later, Trevoh Chalobah's header was redirected by Noni Madueke, securing the third goal and sealing the victory for the home side.
This win propels Chelsea to fourth place in the Premier League standings with 40 points, moving ahead of Newcastle United and Manchester City. Wolverhampton Wanderers remain in 17th position, level on points with 18th-placed Ipswich Town.
Chelsea's next fixture is a challenging away match against Manchester City, where they will aim to build on this positive momentum.
