Madueke's three goals came in the 49th, 58th and 63rd minutes at Molineux. Remarkably, it is only the 12th-fastest hat-trick in a Premier League match since 2006/07, when exact goal times became available.
Sadio Mane still holds the record for scoring the fastest hat-trick, netting three times in two minutes and 56 seconds for Southampton against Aston Villa in 2014/15.

Madueke is the 23rd different Chelsea player to score a Premier League hat-trick. It moves Chelsea one ahead of Arsenal for most hat-trick scorers in the competition's history.
At 22 years and 168 days, Madueke becomes the sixth-youngest player to score a Premier League hat-trick for Chelsea.
Christian Pulisic holds the record, while Cole Palmer ranks both second and third.

Remarkably, all three of Madueke's goals were set up by the same player, Palmer.
It is only the fifth time in Premier League history that has happened, and the first in four years since Harry Kane set up a Son Heung-min hat-trick for Tottenham Hotspur.
Palmer hat-trick of assists
Palmer's hat-trick of assists was the 71st occasion of a player setting up three or more goals in a Premier League match.
Had Palmer assisted one more goal on Sunday, he would have equalled the record for most assists in a match.
That record is jointly held by eight players. Dennis Bergkamp, Jose Antonio Reyes, Cesc Fabregas, Emmanuel Adebayor, Santi Cazorla, Harry Kane, Paul Pogba and Jeremy Doku all assisted four goals in one match, Doku the last to do so just last season.
Players with four assists in a match
You might think Palmer's three assists in 14 minutes is a record for fastest hat-trick of assists. But you'd be wrong.
Seven players have set up three goals in less time, with Lukas Podolski holding the record, doing so in an incredible four minutes for Arsenal against West Ham United in 2013.
