<p>Madueke caused a stir when he posted a message on Instagram <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/noni-madueke-warned-bodyguards-wolves-fans-chelsea-star-hat-trick-after-everything-sh-t-instagram-gaffe/bltc5e8d69000098170" target="_blank">saying that Wolverhampton is "sh*t"</a> ahead of Chelsea's Premier League visit to Molineux Stadium on Sunday, resulting in the 22-year-old being given a hostile reception by the home fans.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Madueke went on to inflict further pain on the Wolverhampton locals, though, as he scored three goals in the second half of the Premier League clash, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-player-ratings-vs-wolves-noni-madeuke-hat-trick-mykhailo-mudryk-moises-caicedo/blt3dcbb2f2d0bb1be8" target="_blank">sealing a 6-2 victory for the Blues</a>. Speaking after the game, he apologised for his comments.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>"I just want to apologise to everyone that I might have offended," he told <em>Premier League Productions</em>. "It is just a human mistake, an accident. It wasn't meant to be out on my socials like that. I'm sure Wolverhampton is a nice town and I'm sorry. In terms of the boos I expected it but it is part of the game. You have to be able to play under that sort of pressure."</p><p>Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca also weighed in on Madueke's controversial social media remarks in his post-match press conference, saying: "I trust people and I think people are mature enough to know what is correct and what is not correct. Noni is mature enough to understand what is correct and what is not correct."</p>

WHAT MADUEKE SAID

<p>Madueke will not have to spend much longer in Wolverhampton as Chelsea head back to London to prepare for their next game - the second leg of their Conference League qualifying tie against Swiss side Servette.</p>
