Noni Madueke had already been under Maresca's microscope in December when he said the English winger "can do much more". The 22-year-old was brilliant against Wolves. He started really brightly and although he lacked end product in the first half his perseverance was rewarded in the second.

Noni Madueke has revealed that he apologised for stealing Trevoh Chalobah's goal against Wolves on Monday Night Football. He jokingly said that he had to do it because it is what Chelsea 'pay him to do.' The Blues returned to winning ways after having gone five Premier League games without one, comfortably beating the west Midlands side 3-1.

Goals from Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke were enough to give the Blues their first league win in six games and propel them back into the title race. They are 10 points behind Liverpool, but Enzo Maresca’s men have ended their dip in form.
