Chelsea moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League thanks to goals from Florent Malouda and substitute Salomon Kalou.
Malouda put Chelsea in front in the 23rd minute when he finished off a cross from Yury Zhirkov. Wolves wasted a number of chances to equalise before Kalou completed a move he began by slipping Michael Essien’s pass under Wolves goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann ten minutes from time.
The defeat left Wolves still looking for their first win since the opening day of the season and second from bottom.
