Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal: 5 conclusions to draw from the match | Premier League 2019-20

#3 Jorginho makes the difference for Chelsea

Jorginho scored the equalizer in the 83rd Minute

Now, Jorginho hasn't really been able to impact Chelsea's performances in the past few weeks. His performances have been lackluster and he has often failed to fill the leadership role handed to him by Frank Lampard.

Against Arsenal, N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic started in midfield. However, as Chelsea were struggling to adapt to the game, Lampard introduced Jorginho as the third midfielder, substituting Emerson in the process. This change meant that Chelsea shifted to a back four with Fikayo Tomori functioning as the right-back and Cesar Azpilicueta moving to the left-back position.

As soon as Jorginho moved into the position in front of the backline, he could be seen organizing his team and telling them where to put the ball. He was quick in moving the ball ahead and made sure that Chelsea retained possession.

Jorginho pulled the strings in midfield with ease and controlled the game from the base of midfield. Moreover, he ended up scoring the equalizer in the second half that triggered Chelsea's unbelievable comeback. It is important to mention that Jorginho could have been sent off in the second half, but that is debatable considering Guendouzi's theatrical fall to the ground.

While many had written Jorginho off, Chelsea's vice-captain gave a trademark performance last night. As Chelsea look to improve their form at Stamford Bridge, Lampard must consider Jorginho as a starter as he seems ready to lead the team from the front.
