Madueke scores hat-trick in Chelsea’s 6-2 victory over Wolves
Noni Madueke scored a hat-trick as Chelsea overwhelmed Wolverhampton Wanderers 6-2 at Molineux, marking Enzo Maresca’s first Premier League win as Chelsea manager.
Chelsea, who suffered a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in Maresca’s debut, started strongly with Nicolas Jackson heading in a corner within the first two minutes. Despite Wolves’ Matheus Cunha equalising in the 27th minute with a powerful strike, Chelsea regained the lead through Cole Palmer just before half-time.

In other Premier League action, Newcastle secured a controversial 1-1 draw at Bournemouth. Marcus Tavernier’s goal was cancelled out by Anthony Gordon’s equaliser. Bournemouth’s late attempt to win the game was ruled out by VAR for a handball.
