Chelsea cruised to a 5-2 victory over Wolves at Molineux thanks to a brilliant hat-trick from striker Tammy Abraham.
Match Report
Tammy Abraham continued his fine form by scoring a hat-trick as Chelsea defeated Wolves 5-2 at Molineux on Saturday.
After doubles against Norwich City and Sheffield United, Abraham became the youngest Chelsea player to score a Premier League hat-trick in a brilliant display.
Fikayo Tomori got his first goal for the Blues with an ambitious 25-yard shot that wrong-footed Rui Patricio and swirled into top-left corner, with Abraham making it 3-0 before the break.
Abraham followed his treble with an own goal, while an effort from Patrick Cutrone gave Wolves the faintest of hopes before Mason Mount curled home a fine finish in the 96th minute to cap the win.
Match Events
31' GOAL! Wolves 0-1 Chelsea (Tomori)
WHAT A HIT FROM TOMORI! Chelsea take the lead in extraordinary circumstances! An attempted short-corner routine goes wrong but the loose ball falls to Tomori outside the box and the centre-half curls one into the top-left corner from some distance! The spin of the ball seemed to fool Patricio, who moved the wrong way initially. It's 1-0 to Chelsea!
34' GOAL! Wolves 0-2 Chelsea (Abraham)
Tomori barrels his way down the left before feeding Mount, who is hauled to ground, but Abraham picks up the pieces, turns and fires in to double the Blues' lead! It would almost certainly have been a penalty if the striker hadn't scored.
41' GOAL! Wolves 0-3 Chelsea (Abraham)
Abraham makes it 3-0! He uses his strength to shrug Abraham out of the way and powers a cross into the top-left corner of the net with an emphatic header! Chelsea are running riot at Molineux!
55' GOAL! Wolves 0-4 Chelsea (Abraham)
ABRAHAM GETS HIS HAT-TRICK!!! He takes a long ball down, stops and then beats Coady with quick feet before tucking it into the bottom-left corner across Patricio! It's now 4-0 to Chelsea!
69' OWN GOAL! Wolves 1-4 Chelsea (Abraham)
Wolves have one back! Saiss gets above his man and heads it down but straight at Kepa. However, the goalkeeper's attempted save is weak and he fumbles it off Abraham's arm and into the corner of the net! That's poor from the Spaniard and unfortunate for the striker.
77' Abraham goes off injured
85' GOAL! Wolves 2-4 Chelsea (Cutrone)
GOAL!! Wolves have another! Doherty smashes one at Kepa after being released down the right and Kepa can only parry into the path of Cutrone, who diverts the loose ball home for his first Wolves goal! It's 4-2!
96' GOAL! Wolves 2-5 Chelsea (Mount)
GOAL!! Mount makes it 5-2 to Chelsea! He gets down the left and cuts back inside Vallejo before tucking the ball inside the far corner past Patricio!
