Chelsea started strong, with Malo Gusto scoring the first goal, helping the Blues secure a comfortable 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge. This victory temporarily lifted Chelsea to second place in the Premier League table, marking their fourth win in five league games.
Enzo Maresca made significant changes to his lineup, introducing at least seven new players, as Chelsea looked to bounce back from their midweek 2-2 draw against Qarabag. The team showed no signs of fatigue, dominating Wolves, who were led by interim manager James Collins following Vitor Pereira's dismissal.

Maresca's tactical changes paid off, as Chelsea showed no UEFA Champions League hangover, outclassing Wolves, who struggled under interim boss James Collins.
Sam Johnstone had a busy start, tipping an Enzo Fernández free-kick over the bar, followed by a crucial save to deny Alejandro Garnacho. Fernández then headed wide from Marc Cucurella's cross-shot, making it seem like Chelsea was pushing hard. However, this intensity was short-lived, as Aston Villa's solid defense managed to frustrate the hosts for the rest of the half.
Chelsea's first-half struggles were evident, but they kicked off the second half with a bang, just like they did the first. This time, they capitalized on their intensity, and Alejandro Garnacho's brilliant cross found Malo Gusto at the back post. Gusto headed it home, scoring the first goal of his professional career.
