Tosin Adarabioyo handed the Blues an early lead before Matt Doherty equalised for Wolves at the stroke of half-time in Monday's Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge. Marc Cucurella then put the hosts back in the lead on the hour mark before Noni Madueke sealed the game with a third goal.

Wolves boss Vitor Pereira was left frustrated with the result and was particularly unhappy with star attacker Matheus Cunha's attitude on the pitch. He raised questions about Cunha's poor 'body language' and issued a firm warning towards the player. Last month, Cunha was handed a two-game ban by the FA for violent conduct after their loss against Ipswich Town.
WHAT VITOR PEREIRA SAID
Speaking to reporters after the match, the Wolves manager said: "He’s a captain. He can be frustrated as he wants to win but everyone in the dressing room wants to win. I don’t like his body language. I understand it now, I won’t understand it next time."
AFPWHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?
It was a much-needed victory for Enzo Maresca's side, who headed into the game on the back of a five-game winless run. The Blues will next face Manchester City in a crucial Premier League clash on Saturday at Etihad Stadium.
