Chelsea 3-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Coral’s post-match review of Chelsea 3-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday, 08 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Chelsea put in a commanding performance to secure a 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge. The Blues, coming off a win against Tottenham and a loss to Sunderland, showed their strength by dominating the game from start to finish. The result was not surprising given Chelsea’s recent form and Wolves’ string of losses, with the latter struggling to find their footing this season. Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto were standout performers, each contributing a goal to extend Chelsea’s winning run and further solidify their position in the league.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, continued their poor run of form with another defeat, marking their fourth consecutive loss. The team from the Midlands, who had previously lost to Fulham, Burnley, and Sunderland, were unable to mount a challenge against a well-drilled Chelsea side.

The Wolves’ defence was breached three times, with no response in attack, highlighting the challenges they face as they sit at the bottom of the table. This match underscored the gap between the two teams and the urgent need for Wolves to turn their fortunes around.

Chelsea’s dominance was reflected in the match statistics, with the Blues enjoying 64% possession compared to Wolves’ 36%. This control translated into a significant advantage in corners, with Chelsea winning 10 to Wolves’ solitary corner.

Despite Wolves having a slightly higher successful dribble percentage at 57% compared to Chelsea’s 56%, it was the home side that dictated the tempo and created more scoring opportunities. The statistics clearly show Chelsea’s superiority in this match, with their ability to maintain possession and pressure Wolves’ defence being key to their victory.

The game’s turning point came in the second half when Malo Gusto scored the opening goal in the 51st minute, assisted by Alejandro Garnacho. This goal set the tone for Chelsea’s dominance, and they quickly added to their lead with Joao Pedro finding the net in the 65th minute.

Pedro Neto then sealed the victory with a goal in the 73rd minute, also assisted by Garnacho. These key moments were pivotal in securing the win for Chelsea and highlighted their clinical finishing and ability to capitalise on their opportunities.

Chelsea lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Robert Sánchez in goal and a back four of Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, and Marc Cucurella. The midfield was anchored by Moisés Caicedo and Enzo Fernández, with Pedro Neto, João Pedro, and Alejandro Garnacho supporting Liam Delap up front. This setup allowed Chelsea to control the game, with the midfield trio providing the platform for the attacking players to exploit Wolves’ defence effectively.

Wolverhampton Wanderers opted for a 5-3-2 formation, with Sam Johnstone in goal and a back five of Jackson Tchatchoua, Santiago Bueno, Ladislav Krejci, Toti, and Hugo Bueno. The midfield consisted of Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, André, and João Gomes, with Jørgen Strand Larsen and Hee-chan Hwang leading the attack. Despite the solid defensive structure, Wolves struggled to contain Chelsea’s attacking threat and failed to create meaningful chances of their own.

Alejandro Garnacho was named Coral’s Man of the Match for his pivotal role in Chelsea’s victory. Garnacho provided two assists, setting up Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto for their goals. His creativity and vision were crucial in breaking down Wolves’ defence, and his performance was a key factor in Chelsea’s dominant display.
