Noni Madueke apologised for his social media post about Wolverhampton after netting a quickfire hat-trick in the second half as Chelsea hammered Wolves 6-2 for their first win of the 2024/25 Premier League season.
A lively atmosphere in Wolves' first home game of the season was quickly dampened by Nicolas Jackson's early opener for Chelsea. The Senegalese striker found himself unmarked at the back post to head home his first goal of the season.
Matheus Cunha, who came into the line-up for Rodrigo Gomes, thought he had netted an equaliser for Wolves following a well-worked move with new signing Jorgen Strand Larsen - only to see his celebrations cut short by the offside flag.
He would not be denied at the second time of asking, though, curling the ball into the back of the net after some neat work by left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri around the edge of the box.
