Chelsea may have claimed a 3-1 victory over Wolves on Saturday, but Alejandro Garnacho was left far from satisfied at full-time.
The Blues sealed the win at Molineux through two penalties and a fine finish from Cole Palmer, continuing their push up the Premier League table.
Garnacho was introduced just after the hour mark, replacing Palmer as Chelsea searched for a fourth goal on the counter-attack.

However, the Argentine winger cut a frustrated figure late on, with reports suggesting tensions surfaced on the pitch.
According to reports, Garnacho was unhappy with goalkeeper Robert Sánchez for failing to release the ball quickly during a promising break.
The moment was visible from the touchline and appeared to highlight growing frustrations for the former Manchester United forward.
Despite the victory, the incident has raised questions about Garnacho’s adaptation to life at Stamford Bridge.
Garnacho struggling to settle after Manchester United exit
Garnacho joined Chelsea from Manchester United in a £40m move last summer after a turbulent final season at Old Trafford.
He spent pre-season training away from United’s first team after expressing a desire to leave, with concerns raised over his attitude and tactical discipline.
So far, the 21-year-old has made 28 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea, scoring twice and providing three assists.
Reports suggest he is finding it difficult to fully fit into the system being developed by head coach Liam Rosenior, reports Manchester Evening News.
It has also been claimed that patience may be limited if progress stalls, given Chelsea’s depth in wide attacking areas.
Garnacho previously revealed that detailed conversations with former Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca convinced him to make the move.
While his talent is unquestioned, moments like Saturday’s outburst underline the growing pressure on Garnacho to settle quickly and deliver consistency in his new surroundings.
