—Malo Gusto’s first goal for Chelsea set the Blues on their way to a 3–0 win at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday night which took them up to second place in the Premier League.
Chelsea rattled off 11 shots, forced three fine saves and mounted wave after wave of attack only to be held goalless at the half-time interval by the managerless visitors. Step forward, Gusto. On the 165th appearance of his senior career, the French fullback scored for the first time to break the deadlock six minutes into the second half.
João Pedro is more familiar with the back of the net and nabbed his second in as many Premier League appearances in the 65th minute shortly before Pedro Neto got in on the act against his former club.
The Blues had begun the game ninth in the table yet ended Saturday with only a wobbling Arsenal ahead of them. Wolves, as ever, remain rooted to the foot of a division they may not call their own next season.
