LONDON — Chelsea produced a dominant display at Stamford Bridge, sweeping aside Wolverhampton Wanderers 3–0 to continue their impressive start to the Premier League season. Goals from Malo Gusto, João Pedro, and Pedro Neto secured a convincing victory that lifts the Blues up to second place in the standings.
⚽ Blues Break Through After Tight First Half
The first half saw Chelsea control possession but struggle to find a breakthrough against a compact Wolves defense. The visitors frustrated the home side with organized defending, forcing Chelsea to stay patient.
After the restart, the pressure finally paid off. In the 51st minute, Malo Gusto opened the scoring with a well-timed header following a precise cross from Alejandro Garnacho. That goal unleashed Chelsea’s attacking rhythm and the floodgates soon opened.
🔥 João Pedro and Pedro Neto Seal the Deal
Chelsea doubled their advantage in the 65th minute when João Pedro calmly slotted home after a slick passing move. Moments later, Pedro Neto put the result beyond doubt with a superb strike in the 73rd minute, capping off a stylish attacking performance.
Wolves, on the other hand, struggled to create any real threat, managing just three shots throughout the game. Their defensive frailties were once again exposed as they remain winless in the league.
🏆 What the Result Means
With this result, Chelsea move up to second in the Premier League table, just six points behind the leaders. It’s another statement performance from Mauricio Pochettino’s side, who look increasingly confident and composed.
For Wolves, the defeat adds to their growing woes — they stay rooted to the bottom of the table with only two points from their opening fixtures, and serious questions are now being asked about their form.
