The Chelsea team returned with a precious and hard victory from its host, Everton, with a clean goal, Saturday, in the first stage of the English Premier League.
The Italian Jorginho scored Chelsea's first goal of the new season with a penalty kick in the 45 + 9 minute.
The London club is entering its first season since 2003 in the era after the Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who left him this summer due to the repercussions of the Russian-Ukrainian war, before the arrival of the new American owner, Todd Boyle.
Newcomers Raheem Sterling from Manchester City and Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli were key players, among the many new faces who arrived at Chelsea this summer.
The start of the match witnessed a strong injury to Everton defender Ben Godfrey, which required a long time to treat him on the field before he went out on the stretcher in the 18th minute.
Sterling thought that he scored his first official goal for Chelsea when he followed the ball in front of the goal after goalkeeper Jordan Pickford saved French Ngolo Kante's shot, but the Englishman was offside (43).
Jorginho scored the only goal in the ninth minute of stoppage time for the first half, after the referee granted 10 minutes as a result of Godfrey's injury, following a foul by Malian Abdoulaye Dokoure on Ben Chilwell.
Frank Lampard's team, who escaped relegation last season after a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in particular, tried to equalize in the second half, but did not succeed in that, amid the brilliance of Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
German coach Thomas Tuchel paid in the last quarter of an hour the Spanish left-back Marc Cucurea, who arrived a few days ago from Brighton, for 60 million pounds, according to reports.
