The Blues raced into a three-goal lead before the break, and the 21-year-old was a key part of our success, assisting Andrey Santos and Tyrique George’s strikes as we took control at Molineux.

Despite a second-half fightback from the home side, we held firm and eventually confirmed the result through a magical moment from Jamie, slicing the ball with his right boot from outside the box as his effort struck the post and bounced in – his first for the club.

Whilst pleased with his strike, the winger was quick to praise his team-mates and even happier to help his side confirm a final-eight tie in the Carabao Cup.

‘It felt really special to score my first goal for Chelsea, and to win the game and get through to the next round was even better,’ Gittens opened, speaking after the match.

‘I’m more pleased that we got through to the next round today – I’m really happy. My team-mates have been really good. They’ve been talking to me individually, helping me with what to do and what not to do on the pitch. Everyone has helped and put an arm around me.

‘I love playing with everyone here – they’re so talented, and they understand the game. They are so intelligent, and they know what to do. Playing with them is like an honour.’

Jamie was hugely pleased to open his account, and in some style too, enjoying passionate celebrations with the travelling supporters.

‘I just thought I would try and shoot because I was tired, and it went in off the post,’ he explained.

‘There were lots of emotions in the celebrations. Of course, I would’ve wanted to score earlier [in my Chelsea career], but it’s happened now and I thank God that I have scored today, and I hope there are many more to come.’

Having only joined in the summer during our victorious Club World Cup campaign Stateside, Jamie has settled in well within the group and at Cobham, and has enjoyed playing in Blue.

‘It’s been really good, to be honest,’ he continued.

‘Everyone as a team has been working hard in training, everyone is competitive in training, and to try and be the best team on the day.’

And he also had a message for the supporters. Gittens added: ‘They were really special today. They were with us every second of the game, cheering us on, giving us plenty of motivation and extra fight.’
