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.
Wayne Rooney scored a 30-yard thunderbolt in Everton’s first pre-season game, helping the Toffees beat Nigerian side Gor Mahia, and said he felt "great" to get off the mark on his return to the boyhood club.
Rooney, an Everton academy product, moved back to Merseyside from Manchester United on Sunday and showed fans that he isn't done yet with a stunning goal that gave Everton the lead.
