Chelsea fans on X heaped praise on goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen's performance in the side's 2-0 win over FC Heidenheim in the UEFA Europa Conference League on November 28. The Danish shot-stopper was excellent between the sticks for the Blues as they maintained their perfect start to their European campaign.
One fan remarked that it was an unforgettable performance, typing:
"Jorgenson I’m not forgetting what I’ve seen today"
While another insisted that he should become the side's first-choice goalkeeper, tweeting:
"Jorgenson needs to start in the Premier League for Chelsea"
Here are some fan reactions:
Jorgensen was a rock at the back for Chelsea, making 11 saves in all. A poor performance from the side's backline meant the 22-year-old had a lot to deal with. He stepped up admirably, helping keep their second consecutive clean sheet.
At the other end, the Blues were mostly lackluster and wasteful with their opportunities. However, goals from Christopher Nkunku (51') and Mykhailo Mudryk (86') in the second half were enough to keep them at the top of the table. They are now practically guaranteed qualification to the knockout stages of the tournament.
Questions will now certainly be raised over Robert Sanchez's position as the club's first-choice goalkeeper. The Spaniard has been inconsistent this season but has received manager Enzo Maresca's backing publicly. With the Danish goalkeeper, who completed a €25 million move in the summer continuing to improve, it remains to be seen if the switch will be made.

Ait-Nouri has been impressive for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Chelsea are keen on signing Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Rayan Ait-Nouri. According to CaughtOffside, the Blues are willing to make an addition to their defensive ranks with the Algerian defender.
However, they are expected to face stiff competition. The report claims that Liverpool and Manchester United have also shown interest in the 23-year-old. He has been impressive as a threat going forward for Gary O'Neil's side, collecting three goals and two assists in 13 games.
Enzo Maresca likes one of his full-backs to operate in a higher position. This is evidenced by the variety of positions taken up by Malo Gusto in various games for Chelsea this season. Ait-Nouri could prove to be a better fit in that role for the Blues, providing a similar option from the opposite flank. However, he may find it difficult to displace Marc Cucurella from the starting lineup regularly, with the Spaniard putting in great performances.
