Chelsea made light work of Wolves as Liam Rosenior extended his 100% winning run in the Premier League to four games.
Blues fans have been crying out for Cole Palmer to be fit and firing for them again, and he answered any critics with a stunning first half hat-trick.
Rosenior has waxed lyrical about Palmer since taking over as manager, and saw exactly why he is seen as one of the best players in world football.
Cole Palmer is back!
Palmer scores on his 100th start. Has any Chelsea player done more than him in that amount of games?

There will be disappointment for the manager that they were unable to keep a clean sheet, although that will go down as an afterthought when it comes to this result.

Chelsea player ratings vs Wolves
The Chelsea Chronicle have dished out player ratings for the Blues from their dominant win over the Premier League’s bottom-placed side.
Robert Sanchez: 7/10
Very little for Robert Sanchez to be worried about between the sticks, although Rosenior will be pleased with how impressive his array of passes were.
Malo Gusto: 7/10
Did a very good job up against Wolves winger Mateus Mane, who has been their shining light in the last few months.
Wesley Fofana: 7/10
Wesley Fofana was part of a back two who managed the task with ease, although was not able to help keep a clean sheet.
Trevoh Chalobah: 7/10
Trevoh Chalobah impresses again. It is clear now he is part of Chelsea’s best centre-back lineup with Levi Colwill on the sidelines.
Marc Cucurella: 8/10
Looks to be finding his attacking threat again under the new manager, providing an assist for the third goal.
Andrey Santos: 7/10
Andrey Santos continues to show why Rosenior has so much faith in him. He looked at home in the pivot as Chelsea dictated the tempo.
Moises Caicedo: 7/10
Showed again he is far more than just a destructive midfielder, keeping the ball moving in impressive fashion.
Enzo Fernandez: 8/10
A sign of his confidence came when he saw a rabona effort saved well by Jose Sa. Another impactful performance, again coming in off the left.
Chelsea’s injury list is growing…
How concerned are you by the influx of injuries under Liam Rosenior?
Cole Palmer: 10/10
Palmer’s job was more than done before half-time. Three goals make it seven in the Premier League in an injury-affected campaign for the England international.
Pedro Neto: 5/10
Clearly keen to make a mark against his former side, Pedro Neto struggled in the battle on the right up against Hugo Bueno. He is still looking for a return to the scoresheet.
Joao Pedro: 9/10
Very strong hold-up play again from Joao Pedro, and he was responsible for winning both penalties in the first half, dispatched by Palmer.
Alejandro Garnacho: 6/10
Looked keen to make his mark after the nightmare against West Ham, but wasn’t really able to get much going in his second half cameo.
Liam Delap: N/A
Josh Acheampong: N/A
Jorrel Hato: N/A
