Chelsea’s fast-rising striker, Tammy Abraham scored a hat-trick as Chelsea defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 5-2 at Molineaux Stadium, in Saturday’s Premier League game.
Abraham got Chelsea’s second, third and fourth goals in the 34th, 41st and 55th minutes, respectively.
Fikayo Tomori (31st minute) and Mason Mount ( 90th minute), were also on target for Chelsea.
Abraham also had a hand in Wolves’ first goal as he turned the ball into his own net while Patrick Crutone got the home team’s second goal.
Abraham has become Chelsea’s youngest Premier League hat-trick scorer, aged 21, and the first Englishman to score a league hat-trick for Chelsea since Frank Lampard, against Bolton, in 2011.
Chelsea are now sixth on eight points in the league table, while Wolves are winless in five league games, and are 18th on the log.
Meanwhile, defending champions Manchester City suffered a shock defeat at Norwich City as Liverpool maintained their 100% start to the Premier League with victory over Newcastle to move five points clear at the top of the table.
Norwich took an early lead through Kenny McLean before Todd Cantwell doubled their advantage. Sergio Aguero pulled one back before the interval but Teemu Pukki sealed victory with his sixth top-flight goal, before Rodri hit a late consolation as the Canaries held on to win 3-2.

Spurs scored all their goals in the first half of their 4-0 home win over Crystal Palace, with Son Heung-min grabbing two either side of a Patrick van Aanholt own goal to put the north London side three up inside 23 minutes.
