Anthony Taylor is a disgrace - Chelsea fans lament 3 penalty decisions in loss to Manchester City
You will ask for water God will give you acid - See what Chelsea fans are saying about Anthony Taylor after the loss to Manchester City in their Premier League opener.
Just before the half-hour mark, Matheus Cunha, leveled the score after his first strike goal was disallowed for offside.
After end-to-end raids, Palmer's looping volley from range got goalkeeper Jose Sa far off his line, giving Chelsea their lead back just before halftime.
)
After a square feed from Toti Gomes, Wolves responded almost instantly, with Jorgen Strand Larsen making it 2-2 with a volleyed finish from close range.
At the half, Maresca upped the tension in the match by substituting Pedro Neto for Mudryk, a new recruit, against his old team.
Four minutes after Madueke's deflected shot gave them a four-minute lead again following a quick assault, the Blues followed the instructions from the dressing room.
)
Just before the hour, Madueke scored a goal between Sa's legs after Palmer's through pass, making it 4-2 for Chelsea as Wolves increased their attacking manpower and created openings at the defense.
Four minutes later, Madueke made it 5-2 and scored his hat-trick with a thunderous shot at the near post courtesy to another through pass by Palmer.
With twenty-two minutes remaining, returnee Joao Felix took Jackson's place for new legs up top, and the Blues showed no signs of slowing down.
)
Felix made it 6-2 for Chelsea after a cross by Neto found him at the ideal spot in the box, and the Blues secured their first maximum point in convincing fashion.
Chelsea fans say Osimhen is not necessary
Victor Osimhen, a striker for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, reportedly wants to join Chelsea from Napoli before the summer transfer deadline in order to become the highest-paid player in the Premier League.
)
Osimhen's demands and those of Napoli are reportedly hindering the Blues' efforts to entice him to Stamford Bridge this week.
This summer, Enzo Maresca added five new strikers to his roster and most recently, he approved Felix's £46 million return from Atletico Madrid.
Felix has now scored on his debut and with Jackson also among the goals, Chelsea fans took to social media to celebrate.
After lamenting the officiating of Anthony Taylor last week, fans of the Blues believe that the team is loaded and they do not need the addition of Osimhen.
