Graham Potter admitted he was terrified to watch as a twice-taken Kai Havertz penalty sent Chelsea into the Champions League quarter-finals – and saved the club’s season.
Havertz was given a second chance to add to Raheem Sterling ’s first-half opener after VAR ruled Dortmund’s players had encroached after the German forward hit the post from the spot. After Havertz scored with the retake, Potter said: “I wasn't watching it [the penalty] but delighted when I heard the roar.
"Taking penalties is not for me, so I am in awe of anybody [who does]. There was a fantastic feeling in the dressing room. We have been through a tough period and this competition means a lot for us. We wanted to progress and get into the last eight and it sets us up for the next few weeks.”
