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.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Cardiff City ended in a 1-0 win for the hosts and Lilywhites manager Mauricio Pochettino was a relieved man after the full-time whistle in the English capital.
Eric Dier’s 8th-minute strike was the difference as the Premier League newcomers ended the Premier League fixture with 10 men on the pitch after Joe Ralls’ red card in the 58th minute.

The Blues play Southampton on Sunday and could overtake Pochettino’s men should they secure three points against Saints, however.
After eight games played, Spurs have a points tally of 17 and remain one of the favourites to make the UEFA Champions League spots.
