“I got the hat-trick [against Wolves] earlier on in the season and it's another one today. I'm delighted with the three points. It's been tough for us and I'm always happy to score goals, especially somewhat easier ones like that.

"It's instinct. Attacker's instinct. I knew it was going over the line. I said sorry to Trevoh after. I had to put this in the net for sure. He was saying 'no way you took my goal' but I said 'you have to understand, this is what they pay me for'."

Matt Doherty’s last five Premier League goals have come against London clubs, with four of them coming in the British capital.

The last time he netted against a non-London club in the Premier League was Newcastle in April 2022.

Wolves have conceded 11 goals from corners in the Premier League this season, more than any other team.

They’ve conceded 19 goals from set pieces (excluding. penalties), at least seven more times than any other side.

Chelsea’s win sends them into the top four and ahead of Newcastle and Manchester City.

Enzo Maresca doesn’t believe his team are in the title race, and it seems unlikely.

The Blues are 10 points behind leaders Liverpool who also have a game in hand.

That’s a big gap to claw back but there’s still time in the season to do so.

Chelsea moved back into the Premier League top four with a fine, and much needed, 3-1 win over Wolves at Stamford Bridge.

Goals from Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke were enough to give the Blues their first league win in six games and propel them back into the title race. They are 10 points behind Liverpool, but Enzo Maresca’s men have ended their dip in form.

It seemed likely from the start as Chelsea pushed Wolves deep, creating chances from space on the wings and taking advantage of Vitor Pereira’s side’s weakness at defending set pieces. Tosin’s opener came from a corner and a fortuitous, deflected strike from Reece James, with the Chelsea defender keeping himself onside to poke home.

There was a scare just before half-time as Matt Doherty drew Wolves level but a five-minute flurry in the second half saw Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke turn the ball in to give Chelsea a comfortable win.

90+5 mins: Chelsea get their win.

Enzo Maresca’s side jump back into the top four and are still without touching distance of the title race.

The more immediate result for the Blues boss is that his team are back to winning ways and secured three points at Stamford Bridge.

90+2 mins: Chance! A quick break from Chelsea sees Jadon Sancho bomb into the box with the ball before slipping it into the box for Nicolas Jackson.

Jackson shoots but sends the effort wide of the nearest post.

90 mins: Five minutes of added time to play at Stamford Bridge.

87 mins: Tyrique George is on for his Premier League debut with Joao Felix a fellow substitute for Chelsea.

Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke come off.
