In an electrifying match at Molineux, Chelsea cruised to a 6-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. This marked Enzo Maresca's inaugural Premier League win as Chelsea's head coach. Noni Madueke dazzled fans, netting a hat-trick just minutes after facing backlash for a social media post commenting on Wolverhampton.

Madueke's Apology and Performance

Madueke completed his first senior hat-trick, scoring all three goals with assists from Cole Palmer. After the game, he expressed regret over a previous derogatory tweet about Wolverhampton that angered local fans. "I just want to apologise to anyone I might have offended," he stated on Sky Sports. "It was a human mistake. I’m sure Wolverhampton is a lovely town, I’m just sorry." He acknowledged the expected boos and reflected, "You have to learn under that type of pressure."

Discussing his synergy with Palmer, Madueke commented, "He is cold and I am fire, so it mixes well. He plays the right pass at the right time." He praised the connection they share, stating, "I like to get the ball in space, beat people, and make things happen. Luckily today it worked."
