Chelsea vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

A beaming Graham Potter looked on as Chelsea dispatched Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-0 to complete a superb week and provide his exciting new reign with lift-off. After sweeping AC Milan aside midweek, Potterball is starting to blossom with a thoroughly dominant display eventually justified by the score following a period of immense patience.

Kai Havertz’s opener and stunning individual efforts from Christian Pulisic and Armando Broja, a debut strike for the 21-year-old, saw the Blues move into the top four.

Managerless Wolves, led by interim coach Steve Davis, struggled to pose a persistent threat on the pitch, but the expectation to grab three points, sandwiched between Champions League games against the Italian champions offered further insight to Potter becoming increasingly comfortable at the top level.

The midweek victory over the Rossoneri gave Potter validation; the Blues boss labelled the 3-0 victory and surge in form as “progress”, before quickly reiterating that there was “a long way to go”. But that masterful game plan and switch in formation bolstered Potter’s ability to shuffle the pack and combat what he expects to be “a really intense period”.

Jack Rathborn was at Stamford Bridge:

Thank you for joining our live text commentary of this match. Until next time, goodbye.

Chelsea travel to Milan next in the Champions League before taking on Aston Villa next Sunday. Wolves host Nottingham Forest next Saturday.

Chelsea secure a dominant 3-0 win over Wolves at Stamford Bridge and it was totally deserved. The London side were the better team from the first whistle, controlling possession of the ball and enjoying the better of the chances. Goals from Havertz, Mount and Broja got the job done to take Chelsea into the top four - for the time being, at least. Wolves, on the other hand, remain mired in the relegation zone.
