The right-back opened the scoring six minutes after the restart, heading home at the far post on his 98th appearance for the club since joining in 2023. Joao Pedro doubled the lead before Pedro Neto completed the victory late on.

Chelsea had struggled to break down a stubborn Wolves side in the first half, prompting boos from sections of the home crowd at the interval. Despite their dominance in possession, the hosts failed to carve out many clear openings before the break, with Wolves, led temporarily by academy coaches James Collins and Richard Walker, failing to muster a single shot.

Alejandro Garnacho and Enzo Fernandez both tested the Wolves goalkeeper before the interval, while Joao Pedro came close with a dragged effort just wide.

The second half

After the restart, Gusto broke the deadlock from Garnacho’s cross, and substitute Estevao Willian made an immediate impact by setting up his compatriot Joao Pedro for Chelsea’s second less than two minutes after coming on. Garnacho then launched a swift counter-attack and provided another assist for Neto to wrap up the points.

It was an impressive performance from Garnacho, who joined Chelsea from Manchester United for £40 million in the summer and registered two assists in a Premier League match for the first time in his career.

Wolves offered little in response, with only long-range efforts from Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and substitute Marshall Munetsi troubling Chelsea after they fell two goals behind.

The result lifts Chelsea to 20 points from 11 matches, while Wolves remain rooted to the bottom of the table with just two points.
