Chelsea won for the first time in six Premier League matches when they beat relegation-threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 at home on Monday with goals from defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Marc Cucurella and a third from winger Noni Madueke.

Relegation-threatened Wolves fought back and deservedly equalised in first-half stoppage time when Matt Doherty prodded in after Robert Sanchez failed to deal with a Matheus Cunha corner, palming the ball down and into the Irishman’s path.

Chelsea ended a five-game winless run in the Premier League by beating Wolverhampton 3-1 on Monday to move above Newcastle and Manchester City into fourth place. Tosin Adarabioyo put the home side ahead after 24 minutes when he scored from close range after Reece James’s shot was deflected into his path six meters from goal.
