After nearly a hundred games in Chelsea blue, Malo Gusto finally has his first goal to his name. The young full-back found the net in Chelsea’s 3–0 win over Wolves, a performance that showed growing confidence from Enzo Maresca’s side and left the fans buzzing heading into the international break.
It all began early in the second half when Gusto made a clever run into the box and connected with Alejandro Garnacho’s curling cross to nod home, as posted on Chelsea’s official X account. The breakthrough settled Chelsea, and the night only got better from there. As detailed by Softfootball, João Pedro doubled the lead soon after, before Pedro Neto tapped in a third to seal a dominant victory at Stamford Bridge.

Speaking after the match, Gusto could not hide his joy. He said in a post shared by Chelsea on their official X account:
It’s been a long time since I came here, and this is only the beginning. I’m really proud. I’ve been waiting for this moment, and I’m happy for my family and the fans.
The 21-year-old also praised Garnacho’s delivery, with their growing chemistry earning plenty of attention. Even Softfootball noted how the winger’s creativity, progress and work rate are beginning to earn him praise from Maresca.
Reflecting on the match, Gusto admitted Chelsea needed patience in the first half. He said:
We struggled to find space. At half-time, the manager told us to stay calm because the chance would come, and it did.
Looking ahead, Gusto wants this to be just the start of something bigger. He added:
We’ve won two Premier League games in a row now, and that’s important. We just have to keep pushing and building something stronger together.
