Premier League: Chelsea beat Wolves to move up to fourth
Chelsea ended their five-match winless streak in the Premier League with a 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge and moved up to fourth in the table.
In a blow to England and Tottenham Hotspur, star striker Harry Kane was on Wednesday ruled out of action for at least a month following damaged ankle ligaments which he picked up in Sunday’s English Premier League (EPL) win over Bournemouth.
According to a BBC report, Tottenham said in a statement that “preliminary assessments” confirmed the injury after a scan on Monday.
