Madueke and Palmer punished us — Wolves boss Gary O'Neil reacts after Chelsea defeat
Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Gary O'Neil has admitted his side were punished brutally by a rampant Chelsea.
Man of the Match Noni Madueke scored his first hat-trick against Wolverhampton Wanderers to give Chelsea the first Premier League victory of the season (6-2) at Molineux.
After substituting Mudryk at halftime, Maresca explained that he was not satisfied with the player's performance on the ball. Despite acknowledging Mudryk's hard work off the ball, Maresca believes the winger needs to improve his quality and decision-making.
This criticism follows Maresca's previous comments about Mudryk's "a lot of mistakes" in a midweek match against Servette.
“I was not happy. In some moments we can manage situations better.

Madueke stunned fans with the first hat-trick of his Chelsea career in the 6-2 Premier League win over Wolves.
“He was working hard off the ball but on the ball, I expect a bit more quality from Misha. He had some good moments today but the reason why was to change it and give Pedro some minutes,” the manager explained.
It seems unlikely that Mudryk will start for Chelsea in the Premier League anytime soon unless his form significantly improves.
