Tue Jan 21 20:44:29 IST 2025: ## Chelsea End Losing Streak with 3-1 Victory Over Wolves
**London –** Chelsea snapped a five-game Premier League losing streak with a hard-fought 3-1 home victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday. Goals from defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Marc Cucurella, and a late strike from winger Noni Madueke, secured the crucial three points and propelled Chelsea into fourth place, leapfrogging both Manchester City and Newcastle United.
The Blues took the lead in the 24th minute through Adarabioyo’s close-range finish, but Wolves equalized just before halftime when goalkeeper Robert Sanchez fumbled a corner, allowing Matt Doherty to score. Chelsea’s resurgence began in the second half. Cucurella’s goal, following a clever flick-on from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, restored the lead. Madueke then sealed the win with a header, albeit one that initially appeared to be a Trevoh Chalobah goal.
“It’s instinct,” Madueke explained post-match. “Attacker’s instinct. I knew it was going over the line.” The victory was a significant boost for Chelsea, who are now 10 points behind league leaders Liverpool and four points behind second-placed Arsenal. The return of captain Reece James from injury and the solid defensive performance of Chalobah also provided positive signs for manager Enzo Maresca.
Despite the win, Chelsea face a challenging fixture list, with an away game against champions Manchester City on Saturday. The absence of several key players, including Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia, and Enzo Fernandez, adds to the challenge ahead. Meanwhile, Wolves remain precariously close to the relegation zone, clinging to safety on goal difference.
