- Chelsea secure first Premier League win of 2025, ending a five-game drought.
- Defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Marc Cucurella deliver crucial goals.
- Trevoh Chalobah shines as player of the match.
Chelsea ended their frustrating Premier League slump with a 3-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge, securing their first league victory since mid-December. Enzo Maresca’s side finally found their rhythm, capitalizing on Wolves’ frailties at defending set-pieces.
Match Summary
Tosin Adarabioyo opened the scoring with his first league goal for Chelsea, confirmed by VAR after an initial offside ruling. However, a late error from goalkeeper Robert Sanchez gifted Wolves an equalizer just before halftime, with Matt Doherty poking home.
Marc Cucurella restored Chelsea’s lead in the second half with an unconventional finish during his 100th Premier League appearance. Noni Madueke sealed the result, controversially taking credit for a goal-bound header from Trevoh Chalobah. Nicolas Jackson also found the back of the net, but his effort was ruled out for offside.
