Noni Madueke trolled Trevoh Chalobah after stealing a goal from his ‘unbelievable’ Chelsea teammate in Monday’s 3-1 victory over Wolves.

Chalobah was named in the Chelsea XI after being recalled from his loan at Crystal Palace and put in a classy Man of the Match performance.

The 25-year-old centre-back should have scored Chelsea’s third goal but it was stolen by Madueke, who poked fun at Chalobah after the match.

‘It’s instinct,’ Chalobah told Sky Sports about his goal against Wolves. ‘Attacker’s instinct.

‘I said sorry to Trevoh after. I had to put this in the net for sure… An assist on his first game back is great for him! That’s my brother. He was telling me, ‘No way you took my goal, no way you took my goal!’

‘I told him, ‘Bro, come on, you have to understand that this is what they pay me to do!”

Former Chelsea star Emmanuel Petit, working as a football pundit for Sky Sports, said: ‘Strikers… it’s all about stats, and they’re quite selfish. I’m happy for Madueke, he scored, fair enough, but I think he should have let the ball go into the net.’

After teasing Chalobah, however, Madueke heaped praise on the defender as he added: ‘[He was] unbelievable.

‘Leadership, character, bravery on the ball. He slotted in seamlessly so I am delighted for him.

‘It is no coincidence with players like him and Reece [James] back in we won the game.

‘They are Chelsea through and through and they helped us tonight with their leadership for sure.’

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca, quizzed for his own thoughts on Chalobah’s performance, said: ‘They did fantastic, Tosin and Trev, all of them were good, including Kiernan [Dewsbury-Hall] too.

‘All of them had a long time without playing a game for us and overall the performance was good.’
