Chelsea achieved a crucial 3-1 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers, propelling them into the Premier League's top four. The match, held at Stamford Bridge, was highlighted by a mix of impressive goals and a notable blunder from Chelsea's goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. The win marked Chelsea's first league victory since mid-December, ending a five-game winless streak.

The Blues opened the scoring through Tosin Adarabioyo in the 24th minute, following a corner that was initially ruled offside but overturned by VAR. However, just before halftime, Sanchez's mistake allowed Matt Doherty to equalize for Wolves, tapping in after Sanchez dropped the ball at the near post. This moment of misfortune could have shaken Chelsea’s confidence, but they responded strongly in the second half.

Marc Cucurella restored Chelsea's lead in the 60th minute with a close-range goal, and just five minutes later, Noni Madueke extended the lead to 3-1. The goals demonstrated Chelsea's ability to capitalize on set-pieces, a recurring issue for Wolves, who have struggled defensively this season. Despite Sanchez's error, Chelsea's overall performance was solid, with Trevoh Chalobah earning praise for his commanding presence in defense upon his return to the squad.

Wolves, on the other hand, faced their third consecutive league defeat, continuing to hover just above the relegation zone. Manager Vitor Pereira expressed concerns over his team's lack of confidence and defensive organization, particularly in handling set-pieces. As Chelsea looks ahead to a challenging match against Manchester City, this victory provides a much-needed boost in morale and momentum.
