Seven minutes later the lead was doubled as a front-post corner was headed home by Michael Essien with power.
At the midway point in the first half Essien grabbed his second as his shot from the edge of the area took a deflection and found the bottom corner.
Wolves' best chance of the game came five minutes before the break through Sylvain Ebanks-Blake but his header was turned round the post by a sensational Petr Cech save.
The fourth came ten minutes after the restart as Joe Cole placed a shot into the corner after Salomon Kalou pulled the ball back to the edge of the box.
