We really felt for Jorginho today. He was playing injured, ended up in a super intense game he probably wasn’t ready for, and then had to take a penalty.
He could have ended up scarred by what happened with Italy in the last international break, where his missed effort ended up sending his country to a dangerous playoff.
Instead though, just as he did against Manchester United a couple of weeks ago, the midfielder slotted his effort.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, in the 92nd minute he had to take another – this time to win the game.
Once again he stayed calm and put it away. Not only did it bring Chelsea three points, it will also have done wonders for his confidence from the spot. That’s three in a row now, all at the Matthew Harding end.
His teammate Ben Chilwell Tweeted this at full time, which summed up pretty much all of our feelings about the Italy star’s afternoon:
