Chelsea fans are celebrating their team’s first Premier League victory of the season after a dominant 6-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, August 25, 2024.
The standout performance came from Noni Madueke, who scored a stunning hat-trick, leaving fans questioning the need for Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.
Chelsea got off to a flying start, with Nicolas Jackson heading home a goal in the opening two minutes after a flick from a corner.
Wolves responded just before the half-hour mark when Matheus Cunha equalized, but Palmer’s looping volley restored Chelsea’s lead before halftime.
Wolves quickly leveled again with Jorgen Strand Larsen’s finish, making it 2-2 at the break.
Manager Enzo Maresca made a bold move at halftime, bringing on Pedro Neto for Mykhailo Mudryk. The change paid off quickly as Madueke’s deflected shot put Chelsea back in front just four minutes into the second half.
Moments later, Madueke added another, slipping the ball between Wolves’ goalkeeper Jose Sa’s legs after a perfect pass from Palmer.
Madueke completed his hat-trick with a powerful shot at the near post, putting Chelsea firmly in control at 5-2.
Joao Felix, who recently returned to Chelsea in a £46 million move, came on as a substitute and added the final goal, sealing a convincing 6-2 victory.
The dominant display from Madueke and the strong performances from Jackson and Felix have left Chelsea fans feeling confident about their attacking options.
With rumors swirling that Victor Osimhen is interested in joining Chelsea from Napoli, some fans took to social media to express that they no longer see the need for the Nigerian striker.
They believe that the team is already well-equipped, especially with Madueke, Jackson, and Felix delivering on the pitch.
Despite Osimhen’s impressive reputation and desire to move to the Premier League, the demands from Napoli and the striker himself are reportedly stalling any potential deal.
With Chelsea’s recent attacking form, fans seem content with the current squad and are less inclined to push for another big signing.
For now, it seems Chelsea supporters are more than happy with their team’s offensive firepower, led by the likes of Madueke, Jackson, and Felix.
