Chelsea put in a rampant first-half performance against Wolves at Molineux, which saw Cole Palmer bag a hat-trick.
There were no problems for Liam Rosenior this time round, as Chelsea looked ruthless in possession and in front of goals, despite being handed two penalties.
Cole Palmer looked back to his happy best, finishing high into the roof of the net after sending Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa the wrong way with two penalties.
And it was perhaps the strongest side that Liam Rosenior could have gone for, with Pedro Neto, Palmer and Joao Pedro making up the attack.
But it wasn’t just the Chelsea players that were of interest at Molineux, as the Blues also had their eye on a player in the opposition.
Cole Palmer is back!
Palmer scores on his 100th start. Has any Chelsea player done more than him in that amount of games?

Chelsea were watching Mateus Mane during 3-1 win
Mateus Mane’s agent has already been in contact with Chelsea, but nothing advanced as it was merely just finding out the situation in January.
It’s not hard to see why, as the 18-year-old has taken the Premier League by storm, scoring two goals and grabbing two assists after his introduction.
But it’s now known that Chelsea still hold that interest, according to journalist MaxFSport.
He stated Chelsea are keeping an eye on Wolves attacker Mateus Mane just three minutes into the game.
Be honest: If Chelsea land Mateus Mane this month, does he go straight into the XI over Pedro Neto?👀

Comparing Pedro Neto and Mateus Mane this season
Pedro Neto has been far more productive in terms of volume, recording five goals and three assists across 24 Premier League appearances.
While Neto dictates play with high touches and constant chance creation, Mane has more directness, which is evidenced by his tendency to strike from distance, whereas Neto’s game is built on progressive carries and high-volume crossing.
Mane also has the ability to play anywhere across the midfield.
