After their defeat last weekend against Manchester City, Chelsea were hoping to get back on track this weekend against Wolverhampton. For the occasion, Enzo Maresca, who can count on an XXL squad, had decided to bet on an attacking quartet Mudryk, Jackson, Madueke and Cole Palmer. The latest recruit Joao Felix was on the bench as was Christopher Nkunku. And the Frenchman did not need to come on in this match as his team offered a real offensive festival. It all started with Nicolas Jackson opening the score after two minutes of play. Matheus Cunha equalized a little later, but not enough to disturb Cole Palmer and his gang.
The England international gave the Blues the lead again before the Noni Madueke show. The 22-year-old winger scored a hat-trick in 14 minutes of play to give his team victory. At the end of the match, Joao Felix also scored his goal for a big victory (6-2). Chelsea bounced back well after their defeat on the first day and may have reason for hope this season. In the other match, Newcastle were held by Bournemouth (1-1). Anthony Gordon equalized at the end of the match.
