Chelsea edge Wolves as Malo Gusto nets first senior goal to spark comeback
Chelsea faced relegation fears after 51 minutes of solid graft.
A full-back not famed for terrorising defences delivered the decisive moment.
Wolves are in a miserable spell and looked ripe for the taking.
Malo Gusto headed Chelsea ahead for his first senior goal.
The goal came when a cross from the left was poorly marked.
The header beat Sam Johnstone from close range.
Chelsea pressed and Wolves offered little reply.
Back in the press row, I noted the familiar ache of the Mourinho years returning in a different form.
This is the kind of chaotic result that makes Todd sigh and Chelsea wary.
The win buys Chelsea a temporary reprieve but the job remains unfinished.
TLDR
- Gusto’s header turns the game and breaks the deadlock.
- Chelsea seize control after a tense spell, securing the win.
- Wolves’ campaign dented as relegation fears deepen.
