Chelsea have returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a convincing victory over Wolves. Make sure you join us again on Tribe tomorrow as focus shifts to the resumption of the Champions League. It's been a pleasure bringing you all the action from this one at Stamford Bridge in London. For now, Harrison Ryburn signing out.
Next up for Chelsea is a trip to the Etihad for a clash with Manchester City on Saturday evening. Meanwhile Wolves face another difficult task at home to Arsenal at Molineux earlier in the day.
It was valiant from Wolves at times, but ultimately they didn't have enough about them to pull off the upset tonight. It marks three consecutive games that they've conceded three goals, and again their defensive end was a problem. The wing-backs struggled to get a grip on either Neto or Madueke, leaving plenty of space down the flanks. They were beaten in the middle of the park too, and struggled to really get going on the counter-attack, with Strand Larsen nullified by Chalobah up top. Wolves remain dangerously close to the relegation zone as such, and are going to need to patch up their leaky defence if they are going to survive this season.
A sigh of relief for Chelsea and their fans this evening. They made a blistering start and were all over Wolves through the opening quarter, taking the lead through a Tosin Adarabioyo goal. It looked like it was going to a repeat of recent performances when they handed their opponents an equaliser on the verge of the break, but the Blues rebounded in the second half to seal the three points with a composed and confident performance. For much of the night they played with lots of width, continually bombarding the penalty area with deliveries into the box off either flank. It led to the goal for Cucurella on the hour mark, and for the most part they looked good on the attacking front, breaking forward at pace. Enzo Maresca will be hoping this is the result that can get his side back on track.
Fulltime at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea's five-game winless run in the Premier League comes to an end with victory over Wolves. It was evenly poised at the break, but two goals in five minutes put the contest to bed for the Blues in the second half. First Marc Cucurella turned the ball into the back of the net following a superb run into the box, before Noni Madueke added the third from close range to kill it off. It's a big three points for Enzo Maresca's men, pushing them back inside the top four again after a tough few weeks.
90+5'
Gusto wins a throw on the left flank, and it comes forward for Jackson near the edge of the box. The striker trades passes with Disasi, but is found in an offside position from the return pass and the flag goes up.
90+4'
Sanchez picks up a yellow card for time-wasting from that free kick.
R. Sanchez

90+3'
The visitors try a hopeful long ball down the other end for Guedes, but he comes through the back of Gusto and concedes a free kick near the byline. Chelsea take their time with it before Sanchez launches long.
