• Jorginho and Everton centre-half Yerry Mina were involved in a little confrontation as the latter tried to put off the Chelsea midfielder before he notched the match-winning penalty
• Mina tried to get into the head of Jorginho, however, his 'unnecessary' antics proved fruitless as the Italian sent Jordan Pickford the wrong way to hand Chelsea a slim win
• Saturday's success over Everton was the first win for the Blues at Goodison Park since a 3-0 win over the Toffees in 2017

Hilarious photos of Everton defender Yerry Mina trying to get into the head of Jorginho before scoring his match-winning penalty have surfaced on the internet.

Jorginho was the hero for Chelsea as his spot-kick was more than enough to hand Thomas Tuchel's charges an opening day 1-0 victory over Everton on Saturday evening - August 6.

In a drab game which was deficient in attacking nuance, the Italian midfielder's first-half penalty separated the two sides.

But it was the incident leading to the 30-year-old's penalty which has gained traction on social media.

What ensued before Jorginho's spot-kick?

In a rather lengthy first-half additional time, Chelsea full-back Ben Chilwell was bundled in the penalty box by Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure.

Prior to his spot-kick, central defender Yerry Mina approached Jorginho to get into his head but a strong-willed Jorginho paid no attention to the Colombian before perfectly dispatching his penalty devoid of his characteristic hop-skip-and-kick style.

Jorginho's strong-mindedness proved decisive as Chelsea picked their first win at Goodison Park since 2017.

Blues boss Thomas Tuchel warned last week that Chelsea were "not ready" for the new season after a gruelling tour of the United States, which included a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal, left his squad drained.

However, a new era at Stamford Bridge is picking up pace off the field with the signings of Marc Cucurella and Carney Chukwuemeka in recent days joining new arrivals Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly.
