Chelsea 3-0 Wolves: Christian Pulisic amongst the goals as Blues inflict more misery on managerless visitors

Chelsea moved into fourth place in the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The players had a frustrating first half until the breakthrough but their heads did not drop, and they scored three without having to call upon either Raheem Sterling or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
