Jorginho scored on his Premier League debut for Chelsea but fans are loving him for another reason

JORGINHO scored a classy penalty on his Premier League debut for Chelsea yesterday but fans are loving him for another very different reason - what he has on his shin pads.
The midfielder has a picture of his dog on his shin pads, meaning even when he is playing football, he is never far from his pet.
Jorginho is congratulated by his team-mates after scoring his penalty
Fans were quick to spot the Italian's cute shin pads
Chelsea tweeted the shirts of new signings Kepa Arrizabalaga and Jorginho before kick-off against Huddersfield, with the latter having a customised shin pad with a puppy splashed across it.
And fans were quick to show their appreciation at the cute gesture.
The Italian scored his side's second goal against Huddersfield in the 3-0 win on the stroke of half-time.
After a very composed run-up, a cheeky little hop and a skip, he rolled in his penalty after Marcos Alonso was brought down inside the area.
Jorginho impressed throughout the game and linked up well with midfield partner N'Golo Kante, who opened the scoring for the Blues.
Maurizio Sarri spent £57.4million on his former Napoli star this summer, with Arrizabalaga, Robert Green and Mateo Kovacic also making the switch to West London this summer.
And if the 26-year-old can continue to perform as he did yesterday this season, he will soon become one of the key components of Sarri's new-look Chelsea side.
But there is no doubt that more dog-related photos will make him an instant fan favourite at Stamford Bridge.
