Graham Potter watched Kai Havertz's wondergoal fire Chelsea into the Champions League's last-16 but warned: “It will not be a straight road.”
Havertz threaded a fabulous shot through the proverbial eye of the needle after the Blues had missed a stack of chances at the Red Bull Arena. And head coach Potter – who had never even been to a Champions League game until his Chelsea baptism six weeks ago – said: “His quality is there, he’s an incredibly talented player.
“His goal was amazing - top corner, it makes my job a lot easier when they can do that. I am really pleased because he’s been fighting and trying his best and almost scoring more. So to score that and help us through is fantastic. I wouldn’t be able to score a goal like that to be fair, I can only imagine! It’s a fantastic strike and an indication of his quality.”
