Garnacho Leads Chelsea Past Wolves 3-0 to Climb Into Second

Malo Gusto’s first senior goal triggered a ruthless second half that cooled criticism of Enzo Maresca’s rotation policy.

Overview

  • Chelsea pulled away after the break through goals from Malo Gusto, Joao Pedro and former Wolves winger Pedro Neto at Stamford Bridge.
  • Alejandro Garnacho supplied two assists and influenced all three goals, crossing for Gusto's opener and Neto's late finish.
  • Teenager Estevao Willian made an immediate impact off the bench, creating Pedro’s strike within about a minute of coming on.
  • Home fans had booed at half-time after a dominant but wasteful first period, with Sam Johnstone denying Enzo Fernandez and Garnacho.
  • The win puts Chelsea on 20 points after 11 games, six behind leaders Arsenal, while winless Wolves stay bottom on two points as caretakers James Collins and Richard Walker oversee the side with Rob Edwards granted permission to discuss the vacancy.
