Maresca Slams Delap for 'Stupid' Red Card in Chelsea Win at Wolves
Chelsea overcame a second-half Wolves comeback to win 4-3 and advance in the Carabao Cup despite Liam Delap receiving a late red card on his injury return.
- Yesterday, Chelsea beat Wolves 4-3 to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals despite Liam Delap's late red card after two bookings in seven minutes.
- With 10 changes, Maresca's Chelsea raced into a commanding half-time lead, thanks to first-half goals from Andrey Santos, Tyrique George and Estevao.
- Andrey Santos opened the scoring after Jamie Gittens fed him, advancing to the edge before finishing, while David Moller Wolfe clipped home in added-time to make it 4-3.
- Chelsea move into the Carabao Cup last eight, keeping Enzo Maresca's trophy hopes alive, while Wolves' defeat ended their run in the only competition they've won a game this season but offers hope ahead of Fulham on Saturday.
- Fan unrest at Molineux Stadium, including chants against chairman Jeff Shi and Wolves manager Vitor Pereira, added pressure as Pereira made 11 changes from Saturday's Burnley defeat.
