Kai Havertz has made a statement of intent to Graham Potter finding the back of the net and grabbing an assist as Chelsea won their Premier League return against Bournemouth. Havertz slid home a delightful Raheem Sterling cross after 16 minutes before Mason Mount then doubled the Blues' lead eight minutes later receiving Havertz's pass on the edge of the box before guiding a superb effort beyond Mark Travers.
Despite Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang spending the entire World Cup break in west London, Havertz started at the tip of Chelsea's attack with Armando Broja out for the season after suffering a serious knee injury. The German endured a difficult World Cup campaign with his nation knocked out in the group stages, despite his brace against Costa Rica.
Those goals saw Havertz named as player of the match but understandably he was not best pleased given Germany's exit from Qatar. Since his arrival, the 23-year-old has struggled to nail down a consistent position, but he may have answered a call from ex-Chelsea player Joe Cole which would see him as a regular starter in one position.
