The game-changing moment:

This will go down as one of Frank's masterclass moment. Realizing early that 3-4-3 was not having the desired effect and Arsenal forcing Chelsea deep, Frank takes off Emerson and brings on Jorginho on the 34th min.

Conducting Play:

- Dropping between the CBs
- Pushing play in opposition half
- Asking for the ball
- Quick pass forward with few touches

As soon as he came on, the mood of the game changed. Chelsea was once again in the front foot and dictating the game.

Jorginho constantly looked to stretch the play and keep Arsenal moving as they sat deep.

Leading From The Front:

In the second half, the intensity increased. Jorginho pressed with serious intent. Directing his teammates to push forward to win possession. However, he wins possession all by himself by intercepting high up to initiate an attack.

Defensive Dedication & Interception:

Chelsea chasing the game meant we were open for counters. However, Jorg's desire to not concede again was immense. He tracks down Auba with full commitment and then steps in again for the interception.

Winning The Ball:

As Chelsea was vigorously chasing the equalizer, Jorginho always made sure any loose ball was always recovered by Chelsea. He simply wanted to continue the wave of attacks. Here he intercepts and eventually wins the free-kick which led to... 👇

The Goal:

The immense hard work and desire paid off with a goal. A fantastic delivery from Mason Mount catches Leno in no man's land. Jorginho's opportunistic run into the far post was rewarded with a tap in.

A brilliant comeback win (1-2) which was started by Jorginho!
