Chelsea player ratings vs Wolves: Two 8/10s but one 3 as Enzo Maresca mistake made clear | Football | SportChelsea ended their woeful five-match winless run in the Premier League on Monday by cruising to a 3-1 win against Wolves at Stamford Bridge. Tosin Adarabioyo fired the hosts ahead in the first half before Matt Doherty profited from a Robert Sanchez howler to draw Wolves level shortly before the interval. Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke restored order in a comfortable second half to deliver three points that return the Blues to fourth in the table. Express Sport runs through the Chelsea player ratings on a victorious night in west London, but one that was better for some than others... Chelsea player ratings vs WolvesRobert Sanchez: 3 The Spaniard's unconvinced season continued by gift-wrapping Wolves' equaliser. What does Filip Jorgensen have to do to get a run as Maresca's first-choice goalkeeper? Reece James: 8 Injuries have robbed the Premier League of one of its best-ever full-backs, this writer is convinced. Reminded everyone of his wealth of quality defensively and going forward. Tosin Adarabioyo: 7 Opened the scoring and kept things ticking with plenty of touches and passes. Overshadowed by his defensive partner. Trevoh Chalobah: 8 Maresca saw his summer mistake in HD out there. Dominant in duels and important in the build-up. Why the 25-year-old was playing his 2024/25 football at Crystal Palace until last week is baffling. Madeuke snatched a comeback goal for the third. Marc Cucurella: 7 Restored Chelsea's lead on the hour mark. An efficient performance Chelsea have come to expect from him. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: 7 His first Premier League start for Chelsea. Notched an assist and didn't put much of a foot wrong. Moises Caicedo: 6 Not one of his finest displays and lost the ball 13 times. Booked in the 70th minute. Noni Madueke: 6 What has the city of Wolverhampton done to this man in a past life? Directed Chalobah's effort into the net like a hyena spotted an injured zebra in the wild. But, unlike a predator, fairly toothless other than that. Cole Palmer: 7 Not at his dangerous best, but his team didn't require saving tonight. Created three chances. Pedro Neto: 5 May as well have been playing for his former club. Nicolas Jackson: 6 Finished an offside goal very nicely. No goals in six games for him now. SubstitutesJadon Sancho: 6 Completed his only attempted take-on and created a chance in a 39-minute cameo. Axel Disasi: 5 Didn't showcase why Chelsea should've shipped out Chalobah to accommodate him. Malo Gusto: 5 An 18-minute stretch of the legs.
