How lucky for Jorginho that he takes penalties.
Normally, deep lying midfield playmakers do not get the opportunity to make amends for the type of catastrophic error that almost gifted the game to Manchester United.
It was Jorginho’s poor control that set up Jadon Sancho’s opener entirely against the run of play; Jorginho’s coolness from the spot that levelled the scores. Ralf Rangnick, wherever he was watching from – and Darren Fletcher’s earpiece on the United bench suggested an open line – will have a greater appreciation of the job ahead now.
There is quality in some of United’s play, they worked hard and Sancho took his goal extremely well, but Chelsea were the better side and it would have been a travesty for United to have got three points from this.
