Wolves 2-6 Chelsea: Why hat-trick hero Noni Madueke was booed at Molineux

It was a rollercoaster of a weekend for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke.

Madueke further endeared himself to Wolves fans by scoring a hat-trick for Chelsea after labelling their hometown “s***”.

Madueke accidentally wound up the Wolves faithful in the build-up to Chelsea’s Premier League game on Sunday afternoon through a blunder on social media. Writing on his Instagram story while tagging Wolverhampton as his location, the winger said: “Everything about this place is s***”.

The comment was clearly not meant for public consumption, but that is exactly what happened. Madueke deleted the post and added: “Damn wrong Instagram account. You lot are too fast,” but it was too late.

He was booed with regularity by Wolves fans at Molineux on Sunday afternoon, but it didn’t affect him as he ran riot in Chelsea’s 6-2 win. Cole Palmer assisted all three of his goals, which arrived within 14 minutes of each other in the second half.

In all seriousness, Madueke was superb from the very first minute today.

Not only did he score three, but he terrorised the Wolves backline from the first whistle, he was really up for it.

Madueke apologised for the social media mistake after the game.

“I just want to apologise to everyone that I might have offended,” he told Premier League Productions.

“It is just a human mistake, an accident. It wasn’t meant to be out on my socials like that. I’m sure Wolverhampton is a nice town and I’m sorry. In terms of the boos I expected it but it is part of the game. You have to be able to play under that sort of pressure.”

Having spent their afternoon booing Madueke, Wolves fans ended up booing the addition of eight added minutes, although they were spared any more pain. Nevertheless, it was a dreadful afternoon for Wolves fans, who were forced to watch their team be torn to pieces.

He has now scored more Premier League goals in Wolverhampton than he has at Stamford Bridge.

Madueke has only netted two league goals in west London.
