EPL: Tammy Abraham hits hat trick as Chelsea crush Wolves, United win at Old Trafford [See all results]
Tammy Abraham scored a hat trick for Chelsea as they battered Wolverhampton Wanderers 5-2 at Molineux on Saturday.
Chelsea were 3-0 up at the break thanks to a fine strike from Fikayo Tomori, while Abraham grabbed three either side of half time to put the game beyond doubt.
Roman Saiss’ header was knocked in off Abraham to pull one back and Patrick Cutrone made it 4-2 late on, but Chelsea added a fifth through Mason Mount as he cut inside and curled home.
Chelsea now have their second victory of the season and sit on eight points. Wolves have yet to win any of their five Premier League games.
Liverpool came from behind to earn a 3-1 home win over Newcastle United thanks to Sadio Mane’s first-half double and a late goal from Mo Salah on Saturday, maintaining their 100% start to the season and winning their 14 consecutive Premier League match.
At Old Trafford, Marcus Rashford’s only goal from the penalty spot in the eighth minute returned Manchester United to winning ways and ended Leicester’s unbeaten start to the season by edging to a Premier League victory in a pulsating contest.
After thrashing Chelsea 4-0 on the opening day, United had failed to win any of their last three games but took all the points to inflict Leicester’s first defeat of the campaign.
