Chelsea tames Wolves to return to Premier League top four

LONDON — Chelsea overcame a howler from goalkeeper Robert Sanchez to beat relegation-threatened Wolves 3-1 on Monday, ending a five-game winless run to climb back into the Premier League's top four.

Enzo Maresca's team was just two points behind leader Liverpool in mid-December, raising hopes of an unlikely title challenge before losing its way.

Now it is back on track to qualify for next season's Champions League after second-half goals from Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke spared Sanchez's blushes.
