Enzo Maresca celebrated his first Premier League victory as Chelsea manager in spectacular fashion with a commanding win against Wolves, making history in the process.
After an evenly contested first half that ended 2-2, Chelsea took control in the second half, overwhelming Wolves with a Noni Madueke hat-trick and a debut goal from Joao Felix, securing a resounding 6-2 victory.
This triumph marked Chelsea’s first win at Molineux since 2019, when Frank Lampard was at the helm. It was a crucial response following their opening weekend defeat to Manchester City, giving Maresca his much-needed first Premier League win.
While Maresca was undoubtedly pleased with his team’s attacking prowess, the defensive lapses that led to Wolves’ goals will be a concern. Nonetheless, the win was historic as Maresca became the first manager in Premier League history to see his team score six goals in his first away match.
With this record-breaking start, Chelsea fans will be hopeful that more milestones and successes are on the horizon under the 44-year-old’s leadership.
