National media raves as Chelsea player stars in victory over Heidenheim | OneFootball

Chelsea defeated Heidenheim 2-0 to maintain their place at the top of the Europa Conference League table, but it was far from a comfortable outing in Germany.

The Bundesliga outfit refused to be pushovers against the Blues. However, they could not find a way past Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, who had a fantastic outing.

On a day when the attackers were supposed to take the spotlight, the Dane produced an exceptional performance between the sticks. He made 11 saves, with seven coming inside the box.

The 22-year-old was the man of the match for the Blues and earned rave reviews from football.london for his display.

Chelsea fans have called for Jorgensen to start ahead of first-choice goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, who is a bundle of nerves at the back.

Sanchez has looked shaky and unconvincing since joining the club from Brighton & Hove Albion for £25 million.

Many people believe he could cost Chelsea crucial points as they bid to secure a top-four slot this season.

Jorgensen commanded his area well, made pivotal saves and looked confident on the ball against Heidenheim.

After this performance, he will likely be knocking on Enzo Maresca’s door to ask for the starting berth, and he should consider his case.

The club has tried to back Sanchez, but he continues to underwhelm, and they need need to give their young goalie a shot in the Premier League.

Chelsea welcome Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge this Saturday, and all eyes will be on whoever Maresca decides to start in goal.
