Filip Jorgensen was a signing for the future but now needs to speed up his progress after Enzo Maresca dropped Robert Sanchez, writes KIERAN GILL There are West Ham fans who fondly refer to trips to Stamford Bridge as ‘David Martin Day’ – a nod to the time in November 2019 when the son of Hammers legend Alvin replaced the hapless Roberto in goal and secured a clean sheet on his Premier League debut in a 1-0 win.
Only Aston Villa and Southampton have committed more errors leading to goals in the Premier League this season than Enzo Maresca's Chelsea side who have moved up to fourth place.
Cole Palmer congratulates Filip Jorgensen after Chelsea secure a 2-1 victory over West Ham.
There was the odd scare from Jorgensen, like when he briefly fumbled Andy Irving’s cross, or when he played a panicked pass straight to West Ham while being pressed, or when he nearly gave Danny Ings an open goal from the half-way line.
Out went Robert Sanchez after making one too many mistakes for his manager’s liking, and in came the 22-year-old understudy Filip Jorgensen.
