The left back netted the opener from close range and followed that up with a pintpoint cross for Kurt Zouma to head home a second. Jorginho then added two penalties as Cesar Azpilicueta was forced to intervene when Tammy Abraham attempted to grab the ball off for the Italian and take the second kick.
