Kai Havertz was the hero for Chelsea on Saturday evening as his penalty proved decisive as Thomas Tuchel’s side defeated Palmeiras in the Club World Cup final.
The South American champions had cancelled out the Blues for the majority of an attritional tie, with Raphael Veiga’s penalty for the Brazilian side cancelling out Romelu Lukaku’s opener.
Havertz struck the decisive penalty kick in the 117 th minute of the final which had drifted into extra-time and was three minutes away from a penalty shootout.
