Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer were the stars of the show in Chelsea’s 6-2 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.
Noni Madueke bagged himself a hat-trick, while Cole Palmer managed to score a goal and record three assists.
Going forward, Chelsea were incredible, with Nicolas Jackson and Joao Felix, two other attackers, also managing to get their names on the scoresheet.
Enzo Maresca will be hoping to see more of the same when the Blues take on Crystal Palace this Sunday.
Cole Palmer replicates Cesc Fabregas feat
During his time at Chelsea, Cesc Fabregas was renowned for being an assist machine. Following his move to Stamford Bridge last summer, Palmer is now following in the former midfielder’s footsteps.
Again, the 22-year-old was able to register a hat-trick of assists at Molineux and by doing so, he became the first Chelsea player to do that since Fabregas in 2016.
Chelsea have really strengthened their attack this summer, bringing in the likes of Felix and Neto. Felix is an addition that Paul Merson has welcomed, and he has already managed to make an impact.
However, there is no doubt that Palmer is still the Blues’ best and most dangerous attacker.
Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke, Chelsea’s deadly duo
With so many talented attackers, Maresca is going to struggle to get all of them into the same team.
Right now, though, he has to find a way to start both Palmer and Madueke, who were obviously excellent against Wolves.
Palmer and Madueke caught Clinton Morrison’s attention with how well they combined, and Chelsea supporters will be hoping to see more of that this season.
Ultimately, Maresca has good squad depth, especially in attack. While the Italian cannot start all of his offensive players, he can bring the ones he left on the bench on, which he did with Neto and Felix. It resulted in a goal and shows that Chelsea will not be relying on just Palmer this season.
