Robert Sanchez helped Chelsea to pick up another win under Liam Rosenior on Saturday.
Sanchez and his teammates beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1 at Molineux thanks to a Cole Palmer hat-trick.
Understandably, the attacking midfielder has received a lot of praise after his three goals against Rob Edwards’ side. Palmer’s hat-trick saw him break more than one record, but most importantly, won all three points for Chelsea.
Cole Palmer is back!
Palmer scores on his 100th start. Has any Chelsea player done more than him in that amount of games?

A lot of good things have also been said about Palmer’s manager Rosenior, with Sanchez lauding the 41-year-old after the full-time whistle.
The goalkeeper spoke about Rosenior’s style of play, claiming that the Chelsea players are enjoying it.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Sanchez said: “He’s brilliant, you know. His style of football, trying to dominate the ball, came with a positive attitude, positive energy and I think the boys embraced it and we’re enjoying it a lot.”

Chelsea’s victory over Wolves means Rosenior has won all four of his Premier League games in charge of the Blues.
All in all, it was a good outing for Chelsea; however, Rosenior has admitted that conceding was frustrating. Next up for the former Strasbourg manager and Sanchez is a home game against Leeds United, who beat the Club World Cup winners 3-1 earlier in the season.

Chelsea’s stats against Wolves
Sanchez has spoken about Chelsea trying to dominate the ball under Rosenior, and they did just that against Wolves on Saturday.
As per Sofascore, their ball possession was 66%. Their xG was also 3.44, while they created six big chances.
Had the Conference League holders not conceded in the second half, Rosenior would have probably labelled it the complete performance.
Nevertheless, the Chelsea manager can still be pleased with his team’s display. They now need to get revenge on Leeds, which seems very likely following Palmer’s return to form.
It has been a difficult season for the England international because of injuries, but he looks really dangerous again. And that is bad news for the rest of the Premier League.
