Graham Potter learns Jorginho lesson as Chelsea maintain record amid surprise Harry Kane mistake

A lot of Graham Potter's brilliance during Chelsea's 2-0 win against AC Milan was different to the performances this season from Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea. One element he couldn't shake off though, was the almost inevitable Jorginho penalty.

Across 100 matches for Chelsea, Tuchel saw his Italian midfielder score 14 penalties, they came from 78 matches and give a surprisingly good record of goals to games for a player that almost exclusively relies on spot kicks.

Those goals make up for exactly half of his 28 Chelsea goals so far as he finished top scorer in the 2020/21 season with just seven goals. If you had to write a typical Tuchel Chelsea game you would be hard pushed not to include a Jorginho hop, a Jorginho step, a Jorginho jump and a Jorginho penalty goal.
