Jorghino surpassed the record of Manchester City’s Ilkay Gundogan who attempted 174 passes against the Blues back in March.
The 26-year-old’s passing performance at the London Stadium took his total number of completed passes to 628 for the season.
The midfielder’s impressive passing stats show just how important Maurizio Sarri has made Jorinho’s role in his side.
