The Blues were in dominant fashion, with starman Cole Palmer opening his account for the season with a brilliant volley. Nicolas Jackson also scored his first while the returning João Felix also scored.

The biggest talking point of the day was Madueke, who overcame adversity to shut up the Molineux fan with a brilliant 14-minute second-half hat-trick.

Madueke apologises to Wolves fans

The winger was under fire ahead of the game over his offensive term towards the city of Wolverhampton, which was shared on his Instagram story but quickly deleted.

Speaking after the game, as quoted by Talksport, he apologised for the comments and admitted he expected the boos.

“Listen, I just want to apologise to anyone I offended. It’s just a human mistake, it wasn’t meant to be out on my socials like that. I’m sure Wolverhampton is a lovely town. I’m sorry,” he said.
“In terms of the boos, I expected it. That’s part of the game, you have to be able to play under that pressure,” he added.

It was a bold call from Enzo Maresca to start the attacker of Nigerian descent, knowing he was walking into a hostile environment, and he repaid the faith.

The decision also came after the manager told the winger to work hard in training otherwise, he would not be selected to play following his midweek goal against Servette.
