Chelsea star Noni Madueke was on Cloud Nine as his first career hat-trick sealed an incredible 6-2 Premier League win at Wolves.
The Blues hit Gary O’Neil’s side for six at Molineux as they recorded a first EPL win of the Enzo Maresca era with six league goals on the road for the first time since 2022.
Madueke was the star of the show, but talisman Cole Palmer played a vital role throughout, with an assist for all three of Madueke’s goals plus a goal for himself.

Palmer’s reputation as ‘Cold Palmer’ continues to shine through as he looks to build on a sensational first season at Stamford Bridge with 22 EPL goals scored in 2023/24.
“My first goal was a bit lucky. Second one was all Cole Palmer, two brilliant passes, with the weight of pass I just had to step onto the ball and score. I’m made up for the hat-trick but more made up we won the game”, as per quotes from PLP, via BBC Sport.
“It’s unbelievable. He’s cold and I’m fire so it mixes well. He has the ability to always play a pass at the right time. I like to get the ball in space, beat people and make things happen, so luckily today it worked.”
Up next for Maresca is a UEFA Conference League playoff second leg at Servette, following a 2-0 first leg win, ahead of a final Premier League game before the September international break as they host Crystal Palace on September 1.
