Chelsea scored a 3-1 win against Wolves with Cole Palmer's first-half hat-trick, despite the visitors showing signs of life in the second half.
A resounding victory at Molineux Park saw Chelsea cruise past their opponents, but it was only after Liam Rosenior's team had pulled back to make it 3-2. The match went beyond that mark when Cole Palmer continued his impressive display, scoring a third goal. This marked the end of his involvement in the game, and his teammates quickly followed suit.
The opening goal was awarded to Chelsea on their first meaningful attack, and from there, the confidence among the team members grew. It wasn't long before another Wolves mistake set up an opportunity for Chelsea's midfielder, who coolly dispatched the ball into the back of the net. A clean sweep was not possible as Wolves scored back nine minutes later with a goal that came about due to Tolu Arokodare.
Chelsea maintained their lead through Cole Palmer's hat-trick, which earned him praise from Rosenior. According to Rosenior, the team's football displayed everything he was looking for and was particularly pleasing when Palmer scored the third goal in a slick move.
Wolves offered Chelsea resistance but were largely outplayed by the visitors throughout the match. A penalty given away by Rob Edwards' side after Matt Doherty conceded a foul on João Pedro gave Chelsea an early lead, and Yerson Mosquera's handball led to Palmer scoring his second goal from the penalty spot.
Rob Edwards' team offered little resistance as Chelsea continued their winning run with four successive league victories. A comeback was ultimately not possible for Wolves due to Chelsea's solid form and their impressive performance in the first half.
The overall win marked Rosenior's seventh victory in nine matches, while Chelsea maintained their record of securing a leg-up over their opponents in this match series, which now stands at 15-4 against Wolves.
