THERE was a roar of approval from the home fans when Callum Hudson-Odoi was introduced as a 63rd minute substitute – and an even bigger one when he played a part in Chelsea’s second goal against Brighton.

Fit-again after an Achilles operation and having just signed a new deal, Hudson-Odoi scored in the 7-1 win over Grimsby.

But for talented forward, this was his first Premier League match since April 22 against Burnley when he sustained the nasty injury.

So the fact he was on the pitch alongside home-grown players Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori was a cause for celebration among those home fans.

Finally, Chelsea have won a game in the League at home under Frank Lampard.

Chelsea’s new direction under Lampard, due to their transfer embargo, has been the story of the season and it is no surprise the home fans have been relishing this change.

The biggest shock, though, is the amount of love which is now heading in the way of Jorginho.

He scored the opening goal from the penalty spot – his first League goal of the season – in what was a hard-fought win over Brighton.

As he scored past Mat Ryan who was rooted to the spot, Chelsea fans sang the name of the Italian international, who is certainly decent at taking a penalty – he has scored 12 of his last 13.
