Chelsea midfielder Jorginho put in a masterful performance as the Blues came out 1-0 winners over Newcastle yesterday afternoon. The Italian was instrumental in dictating play in the middle of the park for Frank Lampard’s side.
He hasn’t always been a favourite among supporters, with his first season under previous coach Maurizio Sarri coming under scrutiny, but he has excelled since the arrival of Lampard as manager.
Fans on Twitter felt Jorginho was the best player on the pitch yesterday, with many believing no one plays his role better in the Premier League:

He's class; I never knew his worth until recently; never took my time to study him well enough but thanks to Lampard

Everybody is talking about how Lampard is great with youngsters, yet no one is talking about how great he’s doing with experience players. Jorginho, William & Alonso.

Jorginho has previously confirmed that Lampard has encouraged him to be more forward-thinking, and that advice appears to be paying off in his performances.
The Chelsea vice-captain is one of the leaders on the pitch, and with players like Mateo Kovacic, N’Golo Kante and Mason Mount playing around him in midfield, the Blues are very strong in the centre of the pitch.
