"It would be easy to paint this as a Cole Palmer masterclass, the Chelsea midfielder completing his hat-trick inside the opening 38 minutes, but it is fair to say by the time he was substituted on the hour, his work was done. At that point it was 3-1 to the visitors, Wolves pulling a goal back early in the second half when Tolu Arokodare spun in the box to convert at a corner."
"Palmer's trio of cool finishes, two from the penalty spot, earned victory and his third, capping a slick team move, was surely the most pleasing for Liam Rosenior. Rosenior's record as Chelsea head coach now reads seven wins in nine matches and four successive victories in the Premier League. With fourth-placed Manchester United finding their groove under Michael Carrick and registering a fourth straight league win themselves, Chelsea, a point and a place behind them, knew the importance of keeping pace."
Cole Palmer completed a first-half hat-trick inside 38 minutes, scoring two penalties and adding a third from open play as Chelsea beat Wolves 3-1. Tolu Arokodare pulled a goal back early in the second half from a corner, but Chelsea largely controlled the match thereafter. Liam Rosenior's Chelsea have won seven of nine matches and recorded four successive Premier League victories under his stewardship. Chelsea sit a point and a place behind fourth-placed Manchester United, making the result important for league positioning. Wolves have lost their past four matches to Chelsea by an aggregate 15-4.
