Player Ratings Chelsea s Dominant Performance Against WolvesPlayer Ratings Chelsea s Dominant Performance Against Wolves

**Robert Sanchez (6/10):**
Sanchez was seldom tested against a lackluster Wolves attack but made a few commendable claims.

**Malo Gusto (8/10):**
Given the freedom to advance, Gusto made an impact by scoring his first senior goal, heading the ball past Johnstone early in the second half to break the deadlock.

**Wesley Fofana (7/10):**
Fofana executed his defensive responsibilities with confidence. His distribution was crucial as Chelsea controlled the match against the league’s bottom team.

**Trevoh Chalobah (7/10):**
Chalobah delivered another solid yet unremarkable performance, maintaining composure on the ball during Chelsea’s possession dominance. He made a pivotal clearance from a Hugo Bueno cross that was aimed at Jacob Strand Larsen after Chelsea had taken the lead.

**Marc Cucurella (7/10):**
With Chelsea focusing their attacks down the left, Cucurella effectively coordinated with Fernandez and Garnacho.

**Moises Caicedo (7/10):**
Although he was occasionally careless in possession, Caicedo compensated by providing robust support to the backline.

**Enzo Fernandez (8/10):**
Fernandez forced Sam Johnstone into a save with a well-placed early free-kick. He also delivered an excellent pass to Garnacho in the 12th minute, which the winger failed to convert, and nearly scored an Olimpico in the first half.

**Pedro Neto (8/10):**
Neto was a consistent threat to the Wolves defense, contributing Chelsea’s third goal with a composed finish.

**Joao Pedro (7/10):**
Pedro calmed the team’s nerves with a goal, scoring Chelsea’s second midway through the second half.

**Alejandro Garnacho (9/10):**
Despite missing a clear chance early on following a pass from Fernandez, Garnacho was a constant danger on the left. His precise cross for Gusto led to the opening goal, and he also assisted Neto’s first goal, completing Chelsea’s third.

**Liam Delap (5/10):**
Delap did not receive a red card, marking a significant improvement from his previous match against Wolves.

**Estevao (7/10):**
Coming on for Delap midway through the second half, Estevao quickly made an impact with a low cross that deflected to Pedro for Chelsea’s second goal, and he later provided a quality cross that Guiu failed to connect with.

**Marc Guiu (5/10):**
Guiu squandered a relatively simple opportunity shortly after his introduction, missing a chance to score during his brief appearance.

**Reece James (6/10):**
James kept his contributions straightforward following his substitution.

**Jamie Gittens (N/A):**
Gittens replaced Pedro in the 83rd minute.

**Andrey Santos (N/A):**
Santos came on for Fernandez late in the game.

**Enzo Maresca (9/10):**
Maresca’s strategic personnel changes following the midweek draw with Qarabag proved successful, as Chelsea exhibited dominant play throughout the match.
