The match was marred by controversy as Madueke had previously made an offensive post on social media mocking the city of Wolverhampton.

Despite being booed by the home fans, Madueke delivered a strong performance to help Enzo Maresca record his first Premier League win.

After the match, he issued an apology for his offensive post, stating, "I just want to apologise to everyone that I might have offended. It is just a human mistake, an accident. It wasn't meant to be out on my socials like that. I'm sure Wolverhampton is a nice town, and I'm sorry."
