Composed Jorginho nets penalty for Chelsea despite having LASER PEN shone in his eye by AC Milan fans


CHELSEA midfielder Jorginho tucked away a penalty despite having a LASER PEN shone in his eye before stepping up against AC Milan.

The Blues came into the clash at the San Siro just six days after beating the Italian giants 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.

And they were given the perfect start to the return fixture when Fikayo Tomori was sent off in the 18th minute for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.

The English centre-back brought down Mason Mount inside the penalty area and Milan were punished with a red card and the award of a spot kick.

Jorginho stepped up to put Chelsea ahead, but just seconds before he took the penalty a laser was shone into his eye by a home fan.

However, it did not have the desired effect.

The Italian sent Ciprian Tatarusanu the wrong way to give the visitors an early lead.

Reacting to the laser being directed at Jorginho, one social media user said: “Jorginho has ice in his veins.”

While another joked: “That’s not a laser from the crowd, Jorginho has just got laser focus.”

Jorginho’s penalty gave Chelsea the initiative as they took control with a man advantage.

Chelsea then saw out the second half to secure a 2-0 win – making it seven points from four Champions League games.

Since Potter took over from Thomas Tuchel last month, Chelsea are unbeaten in five matches and have won their last four.
