EPL: Palmer hat-trick sinks Wolves as Chelsea win 3-1

Cole Palmer scored three goals in the first half, leading Chelsea to a 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.

In a commanding performance, Cole Palmer netted a first-half hat-trick to guide Chelsea to a decisive 3-1 victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers during their Premier League clash at Molineux. The game started on a high note for Chelsea when Palmer converted a penalty just 15 minutes in, awarded after João Pedro was fouled in the box. Despite Wolves’ goalkeeper, José Sá, making key saves to prevent further goals from Chelsea's Enzo Fernández and Malo Gusto, the tide was in favor of the visitors. Palmer showcased his scoring prowess by netting his second goal from another penalty kick after Yerson Mosquera fouled Pedro again in the area, marking a personal milestone with his 50th goal in just 100 competitive appearances for the club. Within minutes, Palmer completed his hat-trick with a deft close-range finish, leaving Wolves in a dire situation as they struggled to find the net at home in their last 10 league games. Though Wolves eventually tried to fight back in the second half, hitting the post through Mateus Mané, they were unable to convert their chances into goals. Chelsea's solid performance not only secured the victory but also made Liam Rosenior the second English manager to win his first four consecutive Premier League matches, highlighting a promising start to his managerial career.
