Chelsea player ratings: Hat-trick hero Madueke shines in front of fuming Wolves crowd but Mudryk has quiet game

3 months ago 31

NONI MADUEKE bagged himself a second half hat-trick courtesy of Cole Palmer as Chelsea fired to a 6-2 victory away at Wolves.

Palmer’s three assists and first-half strike capped off a wonderful afternoon for the England ace, while Stamford Bridge flop Mykhailo Mudryk was hooked at half-time.

At times it resembled a basketball match, but Chelsea later took control after going into the break at 2-2.

Madueke stunned after taking the game by the scruff of the neck and notching a 14 minute hat-trick after mistakenly sharing an X-rated message about Wolves ahead of the clash.

And THREE feisty brawls capped off the EIGHT-goal Molineux thriller.

SunSport’s Katherine Walsh has provided ratings from the match…

Robert Sanchez – 7/10

Solid display. Held firm and kept Wolves at bay in the first half.

Brilliant long ball distribution cross-pitch to Jackson who assisted Palmer’s goal and Chelsea’s second.

Malo Gusto – 5

Out of position for Matheus Cunha’s 26th minute equaliser and didn’t get forward enough.

Failed to have an influence on the game after a quieter second 45 minutes from Wolves.

Wesley Fofana – 6

Had his back to goal for Wolves’ second equaliser before half-time.

The ball had been guided in by a free-kick and Jorgen Strand-Larsen cleverly guided it home with his right foot.

Levi Colwill – 6

Not a particularly noticeable performance from the 21-year-old in a positive or negative sense.

Suppose it was a solid showing but was also caught ball watching for Cunha’s goal.

Pulled Cucurella away from the third brawl of the match.

Marc Cucurella – 6

Worked hard and found himself centre of multiple fights with Wolves players throughout the 90.

Solid as ever, needing to be alert with Wolves lethal in the first half.

Moises Caicedo – 6

Quiet afternoon for the midfielder. Didn’t do much right or wrong.

Enzo Fernandez – 7

Often in the right place at the right time after clearing two Wolves’ attempts from inside the box.

Battled to win the ball for Madueke’s third goal and frequently recovered possession for the visitors.

Cole Palmer – 9

A brilliant goal and THREE assists finished off a sensational performance from the No10 position.

Somehow managed to outshine hat-trick scorer Madueke after providing all of his goals. His own notch came against the run of play just after receiving a yellow.

Picked up the ball 20 yards from goal after a long Sanchez kick and lobbed Wolves keeper Jose Sa just when the visitors were hanging on.
