FANS have been left amazed by an apparent “time traveller” whose Chelsea prediction came true against Wolves on Sunday.
The Blues cruised to a 6-2 win at Molineux on Sunday thanks to a masterclass from Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke.

GettyPalmer scored a contender for Goal of the Season while bagging three assists.
That treble saw Madueke net a fabulous hat-trick to silence the Wolves boo boys.
And there were further goals from Nicolas Jackson and new boy Joao Felix — who was teed up by ex-Wolves star Pedro Neto.
However, fans have left more amazed by a social media user whose bold prediction in March came true.
The user predicted that Palmer, Felix and Neto would all be starring for Chelsea this season.
And the prediction was made by comparing all three to Chelsea’s famous ‘musketeers’ of Eden Hazard, Oscar and Juan Mata.
At the time, neither Felix nor Neto had even been strongly linked with the Blues.
Supporters could not believe the prediction had come true, with many wondering whether it proved that time travel was real.

One said: “Who is this guy and how did he know six months ago?”
Another declared: “Travelling to the future is possible.”
One noted: “This what tweeted in March, how did he know?”
Another added: “How do you call two signings like this? Fair play.”
Chelsea have now won two matches on the bounce after beating Servette 2-0, scoring eight goals in total.
They face the Swiss side again on Thursday in the second leg of their Europa Conference League qualifier.

Chelsea ratings vs Wolves: Madueke and Palmer on fire as Blues run riot... but Mudryk has shocker
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 and a game that at times resembled a basketball match.
Here’s how SunSports’ Katherine Walsh rated the Blues stars…
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.
Mykhailo Mudryk – 4
Enzo Marseca said he needed time and coaching to get his Chelsea career on track. But failed to make an impact against Wolves.
Didn’t notice him being shipped off at half-time for former Wolves star Pedro Neto.
Noni Madueke – 9
The star man scored THREE in the second half after bagging against Servette on Thursday.
Chelsea’s best player in the first half. The young winger has bundles of ability and energy.
Looked lively and won several free-kicks in promising positions.
Worth a note that he silenced the home fans who were heavily booing him throughout after his social media comments earlier today.
Nicolas Jackson – 8
Opened the scoring with a post header inside two minutes.
But let himself down with silly antics while arguing with Cunha twice.
Most non-penalty goals for Chelsea in the Premier League since the start of last season: 15.
And assisted Palmer’s brilliant goal and Chelsea’s second.
SUBS
Pedro Neto 7
Put a shift in after coming on at half-time on his first return to the Molineux.
Bagged himself an assist in the 80th minute.
Joao Felix – 7
Scored on his Chelsea 2023/24 debut after joining from Atletico Madrid for £42.6m.
Combined with other new signing Neto for the goal.
Christopher Nkunku – N/A
Renato Veiga – N/A
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – N/A
