"Chelsea, 3-0 up at half-time, managed to turn this into a topsy-turvy tie that earned them a Carabao Cup quarter-final tie at Cardiff, but has cost them the services of their striker for Saturday's game at Tottenham. The Chelsea manager had no sympathy for Delap who, returning as a substitute after two months out with a hamstring injury, was dismissed for collecting two similar yellow cards in seven late minutes."
"Chelsea came through 4-3 against Wolves at Molinuex, holding off a second-half fightback from the home side to secure their place in the last eight. Elsewhere in the draw, holders Newcastle will be at home to Fulham. Crystal Palace will head to Premier League leaders Arsenal. Manchester City, who came from behind to win 3-1 at Swansea, will be at home against Brentford."
"Wolves, despite extending a poor start to the season, ended up in credit. The Premier League's bottom side battled fiercely to regain some pride, getting applauded by supporters who had booed them off from Sunday's defeat by Burnley. Two goals from David Mller Wolfe, after Tolu Arokodare had brought the score back to 3-1, gave their supporters heart, but superb goals from Andrey Santos, Tyrique George, Estevao and Jamie Gittens always suggested Chelsea had too much class."
Enzo Maresca criticized Liam Delap after the striker received two yellow cards in seven minutes, following a return from a hamstring layoff. Chelsea led 3-0 at half-time but endured a second-half resurgence from Wolves before holding on for a 4-3 win to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. The victory sets up a tie at League One side Cardiff in the last eight. Wolves earned praise from their supporters for fighting back despite a poor league start. The cup draw also paired Newcastle with Fulham, Arsenal with Crystal Palace, and Manchester City with Brentford.
