Chelsea midfielder Jorginho set a new record for the most attempted passes in a single Premier League match during Chelsea’s 0-0 draw with West Ham.
The Italy international has quickly established himself in Chelsea’s midfield since his move from Napoli and he once again dictated things for them at the London Stadium. Jorginho attempted 180 passes in total against the Hammers, more than any other player in a solitary top-flight match since Opta records began in 2003-04.
Ninety per cent of those passes found a team-mate, while the next most frequent passer Antonio Rudiger attempted 86.
In Chelsea’s 2-1 win at Newcastle United, Jorginho completed more passes than the entire Magpies team.
