Chelsea secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, November 9, 2025, a result that was warmly welcomed by club legend John Terry.
Terry's Verdict on a Crucial Win
The former Blues captain took to social media to express his delight at the team's performance, particularly after a midweek setback in the Champions League. Enzo Maresca's side was desperate for a win heading into the international break, and they delivered in the second half after a frustrating, goalless first period.
Terry emphasised the importance of the result, stating, "You speak about the importance of these wins and these games before the international break and we did that." He was also pleased to see the team secure a clean sheet, a hallmark of his own playing career, adding, "Clean sheet, love a clean sheet, I can never get away from loving a clean sheet."
Garnacho Earns Special Praise
While Terry was happy with the collective effort, he reserved his most effusive praise for summer signing Alejandro Garnacho. The Argentine winger, who joined from Manchester United, has been growing in influence and was instrumental in the victory against Wolves, adding two more assists to his recent goal against Qarabag.
Terry, speaking from a defender's perspective, described the threat Garnacho poses: "I also want to touch on how good Garnacho was yesterday. Absolutely petrifying as a defender when you're facing someone that quick and that direct." He highlighted the unique quality the youngster brings to the team, noting, "He gives us something the other wingers don't as well."
Looking Ahead for Chelsea
The three points leave Chelsea in a strong position as the Premier League pauses for international duty. The Blues will return from the two-week break just six points behind league leaders Arsenal, with a London derby at home looming on the horizon.
In a light-hearted aside, Terry also mentioned his relief that Arsenal's clean sheet record had been blemished by Sunderland, quipping, "I'm feeling a lot more comfortable this morning." The win provides a significant morale boost and a solid platform for Chelsea to build upon for the challenges ahead.
