Chelsea cruised to an emphatic 3–1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers as Cole Palmer’s first-half hat-trick helped the Blues to a fourth straight Premier League win.
Wolves gifted Chelsea their insurmountable advantage by the half-time whistle after conceding two sloppy penalties. Palmer, rather unsurprisingly, dispatched both with aplomb and proceeded to net his third at the end of a sweeping move down the left wing.
