Early morning of January 21 (Vietnam time), Chelsea hosted Wolves in the latest match of round 22 of the Premier League.
With the home advantage, Chelsea dominated their opponents from the first minutes. In the 22nd minute, Reece James' missed shot allowed Tosin Adarabioyo to easily score the rebound to open the score. Initially, the goal was ruled out due to offside, but thanks to VAR intervention, the referee recognized the advantage for The Blues.
In the first half's injury time, from a corner kick by Matheus Cunha, goalkeeper Sanchez pushed the ball right to Doherty's position. This defender rushed in and shot into the Chelsea net to equalize.
Early in the second half, The Blues regained the advantage with Cucurella's close-range finish, marking his 100th Premier League appearance.
Five minutes later, Madueke headed home from just inside the goal line following a Palmer corner. Late in the game, Nicolas Jackson had the ball in the Wolves net but it was ruled out for offside.
In the end, Enzo Maresca's team won 3-1. This result ended their 5-match winless streak in the Premier League, providing them with a timely boost of confidence ahead of their trip to the Etihad Stadium to face Man City next week.
