Chelsea`s 3-1 win over Wolves revives their Champions League hopes, with standout performances from Adarabioyo and Cucurella.

Chelsea secured a vital 3-1 victory against Wolves at Stamford Bridge, ending a five-game winless streak and climbing back into the Premier League`s top four. The match showcased Chelsea`s dominance, particularly in the first half, where Tosin Adarabioyo opened the scoring with his first Premier League goal for the club, following a VAR review that overturned an offside call.

However, Wolves equalized just before halftime when Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez mishandled a corner, allowing Matt Doherty to capitalize on the error. The second half saw Chelsea regain control, with Marc Cucurella netting a stylish goal on the hour mark. Noni Madueke then extended the lead just five minutes later, heading in Trevoh Chalobah`s goal-bound effort.

This victory was crucial for Chelsea, who are now on track for Champions League qualification next season. Manager Enzo Maresca`s strategic changes, including recalling Chalobah from his loan at Crystal Palace, proved effective. Despite being a doubt before the match, Cole Palmer started and contributed significantly to Chelsea`s performance.

Following this match, the Premier League standings show Liverpool leading with 50 points, while Arsenal and Nottingham Forest are tied at 44 points. Chelsea sits in fourth place with 40 points from 22 matches.
