Chelsea cruised to a commanding 6-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Noni Madueke’s hat-trick and Cole Palmer’s masterful playmaking stealing the spotlight in an impressive Premier League performance at Molineux.
Chelsea secured a resounding 6-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, marking an emphatic start to their Premier League campaign under new manager Enzo Maresca. The standout performance came from forward Noni Madueke, who netted a second-half hat-trick, with Cole Palmer providing the assists for all three goals in a dominant display.
The match began with a high tempo, and Chelsea found themselves locked in an end-to-end contest with Wolves. Despite the pressure from the hosts, it was Palmer who broke the deadlock, scoring just before halftime to give Chelsea a 2-1 lead. Wolves managed to equalize moments later, setting up an intriguing second half.
However, the second half belonged to Chelsea, with Madueke and Palmer combining brilliantly. Palmer’s vision and precision passing were on full display as he set up Madueke’s hat-trick, demonstrating the chemistry between the two players. The trio of assists from Palmer highlighted his playmaking abilities, while Madueke’s clinical finishing ensured Chelsea took control of the game.
This victory was significant for Chelsea and Maresca, who was eager to get his first Premier League win after a challenging start, including a 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the season opener. The performance against Wolves was a statement of intent from the Blues, who have faced scrutiny over their transfer activity during the summer.
Adding to the day’s success, João Félix also found the back of the net, marking a strong start to his second spell at Stamford Bridge. The Portuguese forward, who recently signed a seven-year deal with Chelsea following a loan stint last season, contributed to the team’s dominant performance.
Chelsea’s victory will likely boost the squad’s confidence as they look to build momentum in the Premier League under Maresca’s leadership.
