Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho hailed Pedro’s instant impact after the winger scored on his debut in the 3-2 win over West Brom.

Pedro also set up Diego Costa for Chelsea’s second before Cesar Azpilicueta’s goal and they hung on after John Terry’s second-half dismissal on Sunday.

The Spain star only joined Chelsea from Barcelona last week and Mourinho believes the 28-year-old has proved he can handle the Barclays Premier League.

Mourinho told reporters “He’s a very good player, there is always a question mark because how many top players come to the English Premier League and don’t perform immediately.

“People ask if he is the right player, can he adapt?

“We have examples in our club and there are lots of examples in other clubs, it’s very nice for him to perform the way he did.”
