Handed a fourth consecutive Premier League start by Maresca, Garnacho proved a constant threat to the Wolves' backline. He was thwarted by visiting goalkeeper Sam Johnstone early into the game and produced a couple of dangerous crosses during the opening 45 minutes.

They went without reward, but the 21-year-old's efforts did pay off in the second period. He first produced a pinpoint cross that enabled Malo Gusto to head home his first Chelsea goal and break the deadlock, and then teed up Pedro Neto with a measured squared pass for our third of the evening.

Having joined from Manchester United late in the summer transfer window, Maresca acknowledged Garnacho needed time to build his fitness, gain an understanding of the demands placed upon Chelsea's wide players, and forge relationships with his new team-mates.

Now that process has been undertaken, the Blues are starting to see the best of Garnacho, both in and out of possession.

'Garna played a fantastic game on the ball, but he was also top without the ball,' Maresca said after our 3-0 victory. 'Pedro Neto was exactly the same and this is what we need from our wingers.

'He [Garnacho] arrived here from another club where he was not training 100 per cent, so his physical condition was not good. Slowly, slowly [we have worked on that] and now it’s better.

'He is doing very well on the ball and is doing well off the ball. He knows that, to play with us, he has to be good on the ball and off the ball. We are very happy with him in this moment.’

Garnacho and Neto were not the only Chelsea wingers to make their mark against Wolves. Estevao Willian was introduced shortly after the hour mark and had an immediate impact, delivering the cross that led to our second goal, scored by Joao Pedro.

The 18-year-old has quickly won over the Blues faithful following his arrival from Palmeiras this summer, and Maresca appreciates that the winger is capable of lifting a crowd and bringing new energy to a game.

'When you bring someone like Estevao inside the pitch, the energy is raised because people love this kind of player,' the Blues head coach said.

‘His talent is top and we are trying to help him adapt and give him the right minutes. He is doing fantastic and he will be for this club, in the next five to ten years, a top, top player.

‘The reason why fans pay for tickets is they want to see players like Estevao and Cole (Palmer). People are happy when they are inside the pitch. The only difference is Estevao arrived from Brazil and needs time. Slowly, slowly, but for sure he is going to start games for us in the future.’
