Jorginho keeps his cool from the spot to give Chelsea winning start at Everton
Jorginho’s late first-half penalty saw Chelsea claim their first win at Goodison Park in five visits but there was no fresh start for Everton who ended the day with a defeat and a double injury blow.
Everton’s Premier League campaign was barely 10 minutes old when Ben Godfrey was carried off on a stretcher and taken to hospital with a serious-looking lower leg problem and he was followed out of the Park End exit in the second half by injury-prone centre-back Yerry Mina.
Chelsea were not immune to the curse with debutant Kalidou Koulibaly also limping off in the final 15 minutes, but he played his part in the 1-0 victory by ensuring the hosts were kept at arm’s length for long periods.
