Noni Madueke scored a 15-minute hat-trick as Chelsea claimed their first win under new manager Enzo Maresca in style to see off a Wolves side yet to earn a point.
All three goals by forward Madueke, who had been told to find consistency by Maresca during the week, were assisted by England midfielder Cole Palmer in a scintillating game at Molineux.
Nicolas Jackson headed Chelsea ahead after 98 seconds – the quickest top-flight goal so far in 2024-25 – before the returning Matheus Cunha struck for Wolves.
Palmer lobbed goalkeeper Jose Sa and Jorgen Strand Larsen poked in to make the scoreline 2-2 at the break, but Madueke’s treble and Joao Felix’s emphatic strike on his second debut for the club put Chelsea out of sight.

Wolves vs Chelsea result: Madueke magic
Speaking after Madueke scored his first goal of the season in Chelsea’s win at home to Servette on Thursday, Maresca said he wants the 22-year-old to stay at the club but acknowledged that he could leave before the transfer window closes on Friday.
If this is to be the England Under-21 international’s final top-flight game for Chelsea, it was some way to sign off and a riposte to Maresca’s remarks that Madueke has not always convinced him in training.
Madueke almost scored in the first attack of the game, Sa turning his effort behind before Jackson converted from Palmer’s corner, goading the home fans in a decision that caused a confrontation between players from both sides.
Palmer’s was the pick of the goals, although all three of Madueke’s strikes were clinical, while Joao Felix’s rising finish, arriving 12 minutes after the Portugal forward had entered the action and set up by fellow substitute Pedro Neto, threatened to take the roof of the net off.
