Jorginho evades markers and haters to take back control for Chelsea against Fulham

The Blues' pivot was back in action and took control of a Premier League game once again after being shut down for the past few weeks

Jorginho and N'Golo Kante's midfield displays were enough to stave off the critics as Chelsea ran out 2-0 winners against Fulham at Stamford Bridge in their west London derby.

The £57 million summer signing had been stifled in recent weeks as Everton and Tottenham both brilliantly shut Jorginho down with man-marking jobs involving the likes of Gylfi Sigurdsson, Richarlison and Dele Alli.

It left Maurizio Sarri's side without a win in their previous two Premier League games but Jorginho successfully evaded Fulham’s Tom Cairney on Sunday afternoon, as Mateo Kovacic and Kante also shone in the win.
