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

Dive into Ladbrokes’ 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 on a masterclass at home, trouncing Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0 in a match that showcased their dominance. The Blues, coming off a win against Tottenham and a loss to Sunderland, were in fine form, with goals from Gusto, Joao Pedro, and Neto sealing the deal.

Wolves, on the other hand, continued their dismal run, having lost their last four matches, including a 3-0 defeat to Fulham. The result was hardly surprising given Chelsea’s superior squad and Wolves’ recent struggles, with the home side extending their winning streak and reinforcing their position as title contenders.

The standout performer for Chelsea was undoubtedly Alejandro Garnacho, whose assists for Gusto and Neto were pivotal in securing the victory. Wolves, despite their efforts, couldn’t break through Chelsea’s solid defence, and their attacking woes were evident once again. This match highlighted the stark contrast between a team on the rise and one struggling at the bottom of the table, with Chelsea’s performance leaving no doubt about their ambitions this season.

Chelsea’s dominance was reflected in the match statistics, with 64% possession compared to Wolves’ 36%. The Blues also had a significant edge in corners, winning 10 to Wolves’ solitary one, showcasing their control over the game.

Despite Wolves having a slightly higher successful dribble percentage at 57% to Chelsea’s 56%, it was the home side that dictated the tempo and created more scoring opportunities. The yellow card count, with Wolves receiving two to Chelsea’s one, further underlined the visitors’ frustration as they struggled to make an impact.

The turning point of the match came in the 51st minute, when Malo Gusto scored, assisted by Alejandro Garnacho, putting Chelsea ahead. Joao Pedro then doubled the advantage in the 65th minute, with an unassisted goal that showcased his individual brilliance.

The final nail in the coffin was driven by Pedro Neto in the 73rd minute, again assisted by Garnacho, sealing a comprehensive victory for the Blues. These goals, coming in quick succession, effectively ended any hopes Wolves had of staging a comeback.

Chelsea lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Robert Sánchez in goal and a back four of Gusto, Fofana, Chalobah, and Cucurella. The midfield was anchored by Caicedo and Fernández, with Neto, João Pedro, and Garnacho providing creativity and flair in the attacking third. Delap led the line as the lone striker. This setup allowed Chelsea to control the game, with their midfield dominance and attacking prowess proving too much for Wolves to handle.

Wolverhampton Wanderers opted for a 5-3-2 formation, with Sam Johnstone between the posts and a back five of Tchatchoua, S. Bueno, Krejci, Toti, and H. Bueno. The midfield trio of Bellegarde, André, and Gomes struggled to assert themselves, while the attacking duo of Larsen and Hwang failed to pose a significant threat. This defensive-minded approach ultimately couldn’t contain Chelsea’s attacking onslaught, leaving Wolves with another disappointing result.

Alejandro Garnacho was the standout performer and deservedly named Ladbrokes’ Man of the Match. His two assists were crucial in Chelsea’s victory, showcasing his vision and creativity on the pitch. Garnacho’s impact was felt throughout the game, as he consistently troubled the Wolves defence and played a key role in Chelsea’s attacking moves.
