Noni Madueke scored the first hat-trick of his Premier League career as Chelsea turned on the style after half-time in a brilliant away win at Wolves on Sunday.
Match Report
The two sides went into the interval level at 2-2. Chelsea had led twice, first courtesy of Nicolas Jackson and then thanks to a brilliant lobbed finish from Cole Palmer.
But Wolves hit back through Matheus Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen.
The first half was a fairly even contest but Chelsea then blew their hosts away following the interval.
Madueke's three goals - all of which were set up by Palmer - arrived within 14 minutes of each other (49', 58, and 63').
Joao Felix then completed a superb afternoon for Chelsea by smashing home goal No 6 with 10 minutes remaining.
Madueke, 22, was the Blues' star man as Enzo Maresca's men put on a second half masterclass at Molineux.
The tricky winger had run himself into trouble online prior to kick-off, accidentally posting that Wolverhampton was "s***" on his social media.
The ex-PSV man shared an Instagram message showing his location as Wolverhampton and added: "Everything about this place is s***."
Madueke, who has nearly one million followers, quickly realised he had used the wrong social media account.
And he responded: "Damn wrong Instagram account. You lot are too fast."
But he may now think that Wolverhampton is his favourite place as he netted his first ever Premier League hat-trick in the midlands.
At least that's what Chelsea's official X account seems to think, cheekily posting "He's starting to like this place" online after the star's third goal.
In fact, Madueke has now netted more Premier League goals in Wolverhampton (three) than he has at Stamford Bridge (two).
Madueke saved his masterclass for the second half, netting all three of his goals after the break.
It was Nicolas Jackson who opened the scoring for the Blues early on, finding the back of the net after less than two minutes.
And an exciting first half followed with Matheus Cunha netting an equaliser in the 27th minute.
A delightful chip from Cole Palmer put the Blues back ahead right before half-time, but was rendered pointless when Jorgen Strand Larsen nodded another equaliser past Robert Sanchez six minutes into added time.
It looked like the game had been set up for an enthralling back and forth in the second half, but it was only Chelsea who turned up to the party.
A stunning hat-trick from Madueke sunk Wolves with new boy Joao Felix adding a sixth to put a cherry on Chelsea's performance.
