At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea quelled criticism of Enzo Maresca's rotation policy.

Former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney said Chelsea's senior players should "question" Maresca's selections after the Italian made seven changes for a 2-2 draw against Azerbaijani minnows Qarabag in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Having defended himself from Rooney's jibe by insisting the physical demands on players are greater than ever, Maresca made eight changes against Wolves.

French defender Gusto, who arrived from Lyon in 2023, put Chelsea ahead after the interval with his maiden professional goal.

Joao Pedro doubled the lead and Pedro Neto wrapped up Chelsea's fourth win in their last five league games.
