Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-3 Chelsea: Cold Palmer Strikes Again!
Cole Palmer didn’t just play today; he took Molineux under his absolute control. In a breathtaking 24-minute blitz, Chelsea’s star man dismantled Wolves with a clinical first-half hat-trick, proving once again why he’s the most dangerous player in the Premier League.
The Palmer Masterclass
The game was over as a contest before many fans had even settled into their seats. Palmer’s afternoon of dominance began in the 13th minute, and by the 37th, he had etched his name into the record books.
13’ – Ice in his veins: After João Pedro was hauled down, Palmer stepped up to dispatch the first penalty with trademark composure.
35’ – Fifty and Flourishing: A second penalty, again won by the relentless Pedro, saw Palmer smash home his 50th goal in a Chelsea shirt.
37’ – The Hat-Trick Hero: Just two minutes later, Palmer completed his treble, finishing a sweeping team move that left the Wolves defense chasing shadows.
Wolves managed a response early in the second half through Tolu Arokodare, but Chelsea’s defensive unit, led by a revitalized Trevoh Chalobah, ensured there was no dramatic comeback on the cards.
Records Shattered
With this performance, Cole Palmer has officially surpassed Chelsea legends Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink for the most Premier League hat-tricks in club history.
Furthermore, Liam Rosenior continues his historic start, becoming only the second English manager to win his first four matches in the competition.
What’s Next for the Blues?
This fourth consecutive victory catapults Chelsea back into the heart of the Champions League conversation. The “Rosenior Revolution” is in full swing, and with Palmer in this kind of “unbeatable” form, the sky is the limit for this young squad.
