Our No.5 might not be the first name you expect to see on the scoresheet, although his proficiency from the penalty spot means he has been a reliable source of goals during his time at the club since joining us from Napoli in 2018.

That has been the case since day one of his Blues career, as he marked his Premier League debut by scoring against Huddersfield Town, although by then N’Golo Kante had already opened our account for the season.

Still, Jorgi is nothing but determined. Two years later, he was on target again on matchweek one when we travelled down south to take on Brighton & Hove Albion at the start of a 2020/21 campaign that would be played almost exclusively in empty stadia.

That goal was our first of the Premier League season – although, let’s be honest, the game is largely remembered for Reece James’ second-half stunner to earn us the three points – and, added to his opener at Goodison Park on Sunday, Jorginho is alongside a couple of Nineties heroes and a Premier League title winner in the group of Chelsea’s two-time opening scorers.

The first player to break our duck in a Premier League season more than once was someone who only netted six times in his 157 appearances for the Blues in the competition. To be fair, his primary job was to keep the opposition out at the other end of the pitch.

All eyes were on club-record signing Paul Furlong on the opening day of the 1994/95 season when we hosted Norwich City, and while the big centre-forward did mark his debut with a goal, by that point we were already on our way to victory thanks to a fine opener by Frank Sinclair.

The homegrown defender had ended the previous campaign in tears after conceding a penalty in our heavy defeat to Manchester United in our first FA Cup final appearance for 24 years, but he turned over a new leaf with a thumping finish from the edge of the box.

Three years later, he was at it again when we took on Coventry City, albeit a game that ended in a surprise defeat to the Sky Blues. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who can remember Frank’s goal, though, as it was the celebration that stands out – this, hands down (or should that be pants down?) is one of the most bizarre in our history.

With his partner due to give birth imminently, Sinclair wanted to make sure he was in the papers on the day his daughter was born – or at least that’s how he tells it. So, what did he do? He dropped his shorts to celebrate, earning him plenty of back-page coverage and an FA fine!

The following season, we fell to another defeat against Coventry, despite having two World Cup-winning centre-backs lining up against Darren Huckerby and Dion Dublin. Gus Poyet’s header before half-time had given us hope after we trailed 2-0 early on, but it still wasn’t enough. We did go on to enjoy our first prolonged push for the Premier League title, though, with Poyet key to that.

Many had us down as title favourites at the start of the next campaign, and our opening-day thrashing of Sunderland did little to dampen those expectations. You should all recall Poyet’s spectacular Karate Kid-esque volley that put the seal on a 4-0 win, as it remains one of our best in the Premier League era, but before that he’d also scored our first with a header.

So, with Sinclair and Poyet ticking off the Nineties portion of this select group of two-time opening Premier League scorers for the Blues, that just leaves a title winner. Plenty of names will no doubt immediately spring to mind: Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Eden Hazard and Diego Costa just a few of those we thought may have achieved this feat.

While all four of that quartet shone in opening-day wins over the years, none of them did the first-goal double. The honour instead goes to a Brazilian midfielder who had a happy knack of popping up with goals, many of them spectacular, during his near five-year stay at Stamford Bridge.

On the first day of the 2013/14 season it was all about the Special One, as Jose Mourinho made an emotional return to Stamford Bridge to begin his second stint as Blues boss, and the occasion was marked with a 2-0 win over Hull City.

Although Lampard missed an early penalty, we didn’t have to wait long for our first goal as debutant Kevin De Bruyne slipped an inviting pass through for Oscar to finish past Allan McGregor with aplomb.

Two years later, with a Premier League winner’s medal around his neck a few months earlier, the Brazilian got us up and running with a goal that had more than a bit of good fortune about it as his whipped free-kick from wide on the left evaded everyone, including the goalkeeper, to find the far corner of the net.

What happened after that, both in the Swansea game and indeed the rest of the campaign, was rather less enjoyable…
