CHE 1-0 NWC: The Three Best And The Three Worst Players In The Blues’ Team.

Kai Havertz’s late goal gave the Blues all three points against Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge, following a tumultuous week for the club.

The German’s new role as a false number nine seemed to have unlocked his full potential as he has been able to find the back of the net more often.

Havertz sent the whole of Stamford Bridge into a state of euphoria when he put the home side ahead in the 89′ from a Jorginho cross following a difficult week for the Blues since owner Roman Abramovich got sanctioned by the UK government following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The win leaves the Blues 7 points behind Liverpool who are in third place and 10 points behind league leaders Manchester City.

Not a very impressive game for the young defender, who was very shaky in possession when pressed by Newcastle United forwards
