Noni Madueke message to Chelsea star speaks volumes after Enzo Maresca transfer stance
Noni Madueke hailed Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's performance in Chelsea's 3-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Midfielder Dewsbury-Hall was handed his first Premier League start of the season at Stamford Bridge on Monday night as goals from Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke secured victory for the Blues.
The 26-year-old, who has struggled for regular minutes since joining from Leicester City in the summer, assisted Cucurella for Chelsea's second goal of the game.

And after the game, team-mate Madueke took to Instagram to hail Dewsbury-Hall as "quality" as he reshared the midfielder's post on social media platform Instagram.
Madueke's praise of Dewsbury-Hall came just hours after Enzo Maresca insisted that Dewsbury-Hall remains part of his plans at Stamford Bridge for the second half of the season.
But the Italian was unable to guarantee that the former Leicester City man would be a Chelsea player at the end of the window.
Addressing Dewsbury-Hall's future in the club during his post-match press conference, Maresca said: "No. We are not going to take a decision on Kiernan because of Romeo and Enzo.
"They are injured, absolutely. I said already, a few days ago or weeks ago, that the intention is to keep Kiernan but then because we are in January, anything can happen."
On Chelsea's 3-1 win, Maresca added: "Yeah, as you said, win the game after five games where we didn't win. It's complicated but I think in the five games that we did not win the performance was there. I said already many times that the problem has been inside the box where we could be a bit more clinical.
"Tonight was important to win the game. The first half, 40 minutes, the team was brilliant. Score goal, create chances, then it happened again, the same thing that already happened in the last four or five games.
"When we concede we lost a little bit of confidence. Then, second half, again we control the game, we score twice, we could score more. We are happy for the three points."
