Cole Palmer joins an elite Premier League club alongside Harry Kane and Thierry Henry as Chelsea humiliate Wolves

Following Nicolas Jackson's early goal and Matheus Cunha's equaliser, Palmer scored his first goal of the season just before half-time.
Wolves then levelled again through Jorgen Strand Larsen to make it 2-2, but Palmer took things up a notch after the break.
The England international created all three of Noni Madueke's goals, with the winger scoring his first senior career hat-trick.
Madueke, who had baffled a Wolves fan with a X-rated Instagram post Earlier in the day, he pointed to Palmer as he celebrated to praise him for his role in the treble.
As a result of his three assists for Madueke, Palmer is now one of only five players to have assisted on every single goal of a teammate's hat-trick in Premier League history.
Mike Newell set up Alan Shearer's hat-trick against Coventry in 1995.
Stan Collymore did the same with Robbie Fowler against Arsenal in the same year with Liverpool.
Thierry Henry assisted Freddie Ljungberg's hat-trick against Sunderland in 2003.
The last Premier League player to achieve the feat before Palmer was former Tottenham striker Harry Kane in 2020.
He assisted Heung-Min Son three times against Southampton, as well as scoring one himself in the 5-2 win over the Saints.

Palmer has now scored a whopping 26 goals and provided 18 assists for Chelsea since signing from Manchester City last summer.
The striker joined for a fee of £42.5m.
João Félix came on to score Chelsea's sixth goal of the afternoon on his second debut for the Blues, finishing in former Wolves star Pedro Neto's cross as if Wolves needed any more salt in their wounds…
Speaking about Palmer, Madueke said after the match: “He’s cold and I’m fire, so… they mix well!
“He always has the ability to make the right pass at the right time.
“So we can say it's brilliant!”
