Armando Broja scored his first goal for Chelsea in a dominant win over a lacklustre Wolves team that is still operating without a permanent manager.
On the cusp of halftime, Kai Havertz got things started, but the Blues had plenty of opportunities to take control of the game earlier.
Before Armando Broja’s right-footed shot into the bottom corner late in the game, Christian Pulisic increased the lead by exchanging passes with Mason Mount and sending the ball sailing past goalkeeper Jose Sa.
Graham Potter’s first victory in the Premier League at home as Chelsea’s manager came in this contest.
Conor Gallagher earned a start after scoring the game-winning goal the last time out, with Reece James and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sitting on the bench. Potter made seven player substitutions from his team’s 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace last weekend.
Wolves, playing their first match since sacking manager Bruno Lage last weekend, were unorganised and Diego Costa, making his first start for the Midlands club against his former side, struggled to get in the game with the team hemmed in their own half.
They remain stuck in the relegation zone having lost their last three matches, while Chelsea move to fourth.
