US EditionChelsea Thrash Wolves to Climb to Second in Premier League
Chelsea secured a 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge with goals from Malo Gusto, Joao Pedro, and Pedro Neto, moving to second place and extending Wolves' winless streak to 11 games.
- On Saturday at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea Football Club beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0 to climb to second in the Premier League despite a wasteful first half.
- With Vitor Pereira sacked last week, Under-21 coach James Collins is managing Wolves on an interim basis while Middlesbrough allowed Rob Edwards to speak to the club on Saturday.
- Malo Gusto's 51st-minute header opened scoring with his first senior goal in 98 games, Joao Pedro scored in the 65th minute, and Pedro Neto added another eight minutes later from Alejandro Garnacho's cross.
- Statistically, Chelsea had 18 shots, including seven on target, to Wolverhampton Wanderers' three, and Maresca told Sky Sports `The clean sheet, the amount of chances we created- these games can be worrying because they are games you have to win and they can be tricky, complicated games`.
- Wolves' place at the foot of the table means they sit bottom on two points after 11 games, eight points adrift of safety while Arsenal lead with 20 points and Manchester City host Liverpool on Sunday.
