Chelsea 3-1 Wolves Player Ratings: Trevoh Chalobah Stars On His Return But How Did Cole Palmer Get On? 6x2i29

Chelsea ended their five-game winless run in the Premier League by beating relegation-strugglers Wolves at home 3-1 on Monday night – and here’s our player ratings for both sides.

Chelsea Player Ratings 66z56

Robert Sanchez – 5.5 3z213u

Sanchez won’t want to watch this one back. The Spaniard’s howler from a corner allowed Matt Doherty to prod home Wolves’ equaliser. Made a decent save to deny Cunha late on.

Reece James – 6.5 3y3d5b

His wayward shot fortunately deflected right into the path of Adarabioyo, who scored the opener. Solid return from injury for the Blues skipper.

Trevoh Chalobah – 8 4m1d3a

Did well to nullify Cunha on his return to Chelsea after being recalled from his loan at Crystal Palace. His header from a corner allowed Madueke to tap-in on the line and make it 3-1 Chelsea.

Tosin Adarabioyo – 7.5 z3j3l

Smart finish to give Chelsea the lead after 25 minutes. Was in the right place at the right time to break the deadlock at the Bridge. That’s three goals in his last three games for Chelsea.

Marc Cucurella – 7 5f3q5t

Started the move for Chelsea’s second goal and finished it off. Did well to control Dewsbury-Hall’s header down before restoring Chelsea’s lead – on his 100th Premier League appearance for the club, no less.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – 6 3h364q

Struggled to get the better of Joao Gomes in the middle of the park. Popped up with a crucial assist, however, to help Chelsea restore their lead.

Moises Caicedo – 6 365p4u

Went down in agony in the first half in what looked like a worrying injury. Picked himself up and continued in the second half before earning himself a spot in the ref’s book for a cynical foul on Cunha.

Noni Madueke – 7 4e5367

Was a handful down the right-hand side and the man who scored a hat-trick against Wolves earlier this season was there again to head in Chelsea’s third from a corner.

Cole Palmer – 6.5 4d2049

Looked threatening and was Chelsea’s bright spark for large parts. Kept Chelsea’s attack ticking and eased himself back after returning from a knock.

Pedro Neto – 5 6f6k3t

Struggled to make an impact against his former side on the left for Chelsea. Was substituted for Jadon Sancho after an hour.

Nicolas Jackson – 6 656l6s

Relatively quiet night from the Chelsea front-man. He thought he had scored Chelsea’s fourth but was correctly ruled out for offside.

Substitutes 4x1v18

Jadon Sancho (for Neto ’62) – 6

Malo Gusto (for Dewsbury-Hall ’78) – N/A

Axel Disasi (for James ’78) – N/A

Tyrique George (for Madueke ’84) – N/A

Joao Felix (for Palmer ’84) – N/A

Wolves Player Ratings 1fq5g

Jose Sa – 6 5f1y2s

Pulled off a good save to deny Palmer in the first half. Had a few shaky moments only to be saved by his defenders before conceding.

Matt Doherty – 6.5 5e2517

Quick reactions from the former Tottenham man got Wolves back into the game as he capitalised on Jose Sa’s huge blunder deep into first-half stoppage time.

Santiago Bueno – 5 135930

Picked apart for Chelsea’s second and third goals. Poor defending from corners allowed the hosts to score set-pieces.

Emmaunel Agbadou – 5 17556o

Like his defensive partner Bueno, struggled to pick up his man for Chelsea’s third while Chalobah was allowed to leap highest and nod down to Madueke.

Nelson Semedo – 6 3m6230

Failed to pick up Cucurella’s run into the box for Chelsea’s second, with the Spaniard left all alone to restore the Blues’ lead.

Andre – 6 3t2m37

Went into the referee’s book for a blatant foul on Cole Palmer after being beaten all ends up. Had to be careful for the second half not to commit another foul.

Joao Gomes – 6.5 2u4s1x

Was a menace in the middle for Wolves and got the better of Dewsbury-Hall on several occasions.

Rayan Ait-Nouri – 5.5 4h4w57

Struggled to cope with Madueke’s pace on the right-hand side. Offered more as an attacking threat.

Pablo Sarabia – 5 50w4s

Struggled to impose himself in attack and was shut down consistently by Chalobah and Adarabioyo.

Matheus Cunha – 6 2ut47

A few bright spots from Wolves’ main man but struggled to get past Chelsea’s centre-back pairing.

Jorgen Strand Larsen – 5 s6q33

Like Sarabia, Larsen struggled to get a foot hold in the game. Managed a shot on target from a tight angle but was comfortably saved by Sanchez.

Substitutes 4x1v18

Rodrigo Gomes (for Ait-Nouri ’75) – N/A

Goncalo Guedes (for Sarabia ‘ 75) – N/A

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (for Andre ’75) – N/A
