Under Enzo Maresca, the Blues are searching for their first English Premier League victory of the year in the region of the West Midlands. Chelsea lost their first game at home against champions Manchester City last weekend, but the team's overall performance showed some positive indicators.
Head coach, Maresca did experience triumph on Thursday night when his team defeated Servette 2-0 during the Conference League play-off first-leg. The Italian will be eager to start building on his past performance, and that journey begins today against Wolves.
Fantastic passes from Nicolas Jackson onto Cole Palmer and finally to Noni Madueke, fully exploiting Wolves' defense while utterly disregarding their respective positions. Noni cuts inside on the right and attempts a goal, which deflects and ends up in the net for the third goal of the game in the Blues' favour.
This afternoon against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Noni Madueke was unplayable. Cole Palmer added another assist to his current record and also added to his goal tally. For the first goal, he cut in on his left and a deflection helped him get his opening goal of the season.
For the second strike, Palmer passed it to Madueke, who used his weaker right foot to drive it into the far corner. Palmer assisted Noni Madueke once again as he scored three goals and Palmer totalled a hat-trick of assists. Palmer simply had to lay off after Chelsea won high up the pitch, and Madueke took care of the rest.
Why was Noni Madueke booed during the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers?
After being ruthlessly jeered by the Wolves supporters at Molineux, Noni Madueke calmed them down with an incredible hat-trick. The Chelsea player was obliged to remove a post to Instagram that had been intended for his private account, which is why he was jeered. He posted on Instagram said, "Everything about his place is s***."
He quickly removed it off his Facebook and replaced it with another statement that said. The other story said, "Damn wrong Instagram account... You lot are fast." When Madueke touched the ball after manager Enzo Maresca named him in the starting lineup, he was instantly jeered by the home fans.
