Wolves vs Chelsea Player Ratings: Madueke the hat-trick hero

Chelsea earned their first win of the Premier League season with a 6-2 demolition of Wolves on Sunday

Enzo Maresca secured his first Premier League win as Chelsea manager on Sunday, and in emphatic style too as the Blues won 6-2 away at Wolves.

The game belonged to Noni Madueke, who scored a superb hat-trick which took his goal tally to the week to four following his strike versus Servette.

A mention for Cole Palmer, too, who not only found the back of the net himself but also bagged himself a hat-trick of assists.

Player of the Match

Madueke wasn't actually involved in too much build-up play in the game as he only completed 15 passes in 90 minutes. That is because he was the man on the end of the majority of chances.

He scored three goals on the day - all of which came via him twisting and turning into space from the right wing.

The winger used both feet to score his goals with strikes across goal from near enough the same position inside the box each time.

Worst Player

It is perhaps no surprise to see that Jose Sa has earned the worst FC Rating as he conceded six goals in 90 minutes.

However, his poor performance also hurt Wolves in more ways than simply conceding goals, as he had a pass completion rate of just 52% - a testament to Chelsea's pressing but his continued loss of possession heaped pressure on his outfield team-mates.

Honourable Mention

Palmer and Madueke apparently have quite the connection on the pitch as the England international set up all three goals for his team-mate and even found the back of the net himself.
