Chelsea almost threw away a three-goal cushion as they scraped past Wolves 4-3 in the Carabao Cup to reach the quarter-finals. In a rollercoaster encounter at Molineux, Enzo Maresca’s side looked as though they had put the disappointment of their last-minute defeat by Sunderland behind them, cruising into a 3-0 lead in the first half, with the Premier League’s basement boys at sixes and sevens. Andrey Santos was sent through by Jamie Gittens to slide past Jose Sa for the opener on five minutes, before Tyrique George tapped home a second on the quarter-hour with Gittens the provider once more.
