West Ham United 0-0 Chelsea: 5 Hits and Flops, Premier League 2018-19

West Ham United v Chelsea FC - Premier League
Chelsea lost their 100% perfect start to the season

#3 Hit: Jorginho

Chelsea FC v Cardiff City - Premier League
Jorginho set another new record in the Premier League

Ever since his arrival in England, one thing that Jorginho has been continually doing is breaking and setting new milestones.

The former Napoli playmaker had a stunning 191 touches of the ball and completed 90% of his passes.

Likewise, Jorginho also successfully completed eight long balls along with three key passes. His presence in the team has allowed N'Golo Kante freedom and at the same time, the Italian is slowly establishing one of the best partnerships in world football with his midfield partner.

But, unfortunately, all of Jorginho's hard work went in vain as none of the Chelsea frontmen could capitalize on his passes and despite a point, in the end, the feeling will be of empty-handedness from the London derby as the Blues did not get the result they wanted.

Similarly, Jorginho also fulfilled his role from a defensive point of view and chipped in with a couple of good challenges to recover the ball for his side.

There will be instances like these where Chelsea will struggle to score moving forward into the season but with the quality and service they own in their ranks, the attackers must ensure that they are clinical in front of goal if they are to convert draws into wins.
