While N’Golo Kante was injured, Jorginho formed a good partnership with Mateo Kovacic in the middle of the park.

Jorginho has now hailed his partnership with Kovacic and admits that it’s easy to play with the Croatian.

“We are playing very well together,” Jorginho told the official Chelsea website of his partnership with Kovacic.

“We know each other, we know our intentions and how we want to play. Even without looking at me, I know what he wants to do and he knows what I want to do as well because he understands football very well.

“It’s quite easy to play with him and we’re enjoying this moment because we both enjoy to play football and at the moment we are doing well. It’s very important to have that good relationship and it comes from being in a good way off the pitch, which makes everything on the pitch more easy.”

Kovacic scored his first ever Chelsea goal in the 2-2 draw with Valencia as he scored a quick equaliser to level out Carlos Soler’s 40th minute goal.
