Jorginho's delight at helping the Blues secure a big win in front of the
Chelsea fans
19 May 2021
After taking his tally to seven for the season and securing a vital three
points in the process, it's fair to say Jorginho deserved to be smiling as
much as he was when talking following the match.

The Italian was coolness personified from the spot midway through the
second half, confidently dispatching his penalty to score our second in
our 2-1 victory over Leicester at Stamford Bridge.
The victory ensured we overtook the Foxes into third place and now means
our task is simple: beat Aston Villa on Sunday and a top-four finish is
secured.
'It was a massive three points,' said Jorginho after the game. 'A great
win and I think we deserved this because we showed the intensity that we
wanted to.
'We created a lot of chances, could have scored a few more goals and it's
just a huge three points for us as we try and finish in the top four,
ahead of another big game coming up.

A big win in front of the Chelsea fans!
'We were still hurting from Saturday [FA Cup final defeat] a little bit,
of course. When you reach a cup final, you want to win.
'We were all disappointed that we couldn't lift the trophy but you have to
put these feelings to one side and concentrate on the next game. We showed
that with our performance which was really strong from the first minute.'
Jorginho's goal, which came after Toni Rudiger had broken the deadlock at
Stamford Bridge, means he is now our top scorer for the season with seven
goals.
While delighted to be helping out in both boxes, our midfielder was just
pleased to play his part at securing all three points and paid tribute to
the impact that the 8,000 Chelsea fans inside Stamford Bridge had on
proceedings.
'I was so happy to score and I'm really pleased to be top goalscorer,'
said the Italian international.
'It was such an important goal for the team, we are a strong group and I'm
just so glad that we could get the three points. I was really focused when
taking the penalty and I'm very happy to have scored for my team.

'Of course, it was amazing to have the fans back and this is what football
is all about. You could really sense the atmosphere and the passion from
the Chelsea fans and having them back is really good.
'It's a big game on Sunday now, and it won't be easy against Aston Villa
but we know what we have to do to achieve our goals.
'We know how important this game is going to be and we will work really
hard from now until then to prepare right for the match. We need to be in
the top four and to get into the Champions League for next season.'
