Chelsea breezed past Wolves as Graham Potter secured back-to-back wins in the Premier League to move the Blues into the top four.

Wesley Fofana suffered an injury against AC Milan and after leaving the stadium on crutches and is out for a few weeks. Chelsea travel to AC Milan on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League group stage, then travel to Aston Villa on Sunday, Oct. It’s still early days in the Graham Potter era at Chelsea but the signs are promising. Raul Jimenez, and Pedro Neto are out, while Sasa Kalajdzic is out for at least six months following his serious knee injury. Wolves in a world of trouble: They were okay for part of the parts half and they missed a few chances as crosses into the box caused problems. Really happy with the boys and how we’ve recovered. Potter’s hybrid wing-back roles worked really well in this game and Azpilicueta and Christian Pulisic had plenty of chances to score and assist. “I’ve said from the start I’ve been impressed with how open, honest and responsible they are. Managerless Wolves have six points and remain in the bottom three. It has done for some time and whoever comes in will have a very tough task to turn this around. They also don’t have a manager and they entire squad looks devoid of confidence. The joy has returned to Chelsea’s play: It took them a while to break through but it was coming.

Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic and Armando Broja were on target to give Chelsea a 3-0 win against Wolves for Graham Potter's third consecutive victory.

Guedes was fouled on the edge of the area and João Moutinho worked Kepa Arrizabalaga from the free-kick. Havertz went up with Nélson Semedo and Sá was wrongfooted by the looping header, which seemed to hang in the air for an age before dropping in. Potter went back to a back four, even though it was more of a three in possession, with the right-back, César Azpilicueta, pushed high. He was on the opposite side to the dugouts and so he took the scenic route around the pitch and in front of the Matthew Harding Stand as play resumed. A gamble or a decision born of necessity, with the fixtures coming thick and fast? The space was there but the finish was weak.
