"Sam Johnstone kept Chelsea at bay in the first half, and the Wolves goalkeeper was required as early as the fourth minute to tip over an Enzo Fernandez free-kick. Two minutes later, Johnstone thwarted Alejandro Garnacho after he was played through by Fernandez. Fernandez had another effort tipped over by Johnstone before seeing a corner cleared off the line by Jackson Tchatchoua, and the frustration at their side's failure to break the deadlock led to Chelsea being booed off by the home fans at half-time."
"The tension was increasing as the stalemate stretched into the second half, but Gusto finally gave Chelsea reason to celebrate when he headed in from Garnacho's left-wing cross in the 51st minute. Fourteen minutes later the lead was doubled, with teenager Estevao making an instant impact off the bench. The Brazilian got down the right and pulled back for compatriot Joao Pedro to slam home his first home goal since August."
Chelsea recorded a 3-0 victory over bottom club Wolves to move up to second in the Premier League, six points behind Arsenal. Chelsea traveled to Azerbaijan midweek and started sluggishly, with Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone producing several crucial saves and Enzo Fernandez efforts being tipped over or cleared. Malo Gusto opened the scoring with a header from Alejandro Garnacho's cross in the 51st minute. Substitute Estevao created Joao Pedro's goal, and Pedro Neto added a third to seal the win. Wolves appear set to appoint Rob Edwards while remaining eight points adrift of safety.
