Kai Havertz was dropped from the Chelsea starting line-up on Saturday afternoon but the German responded in the perfect way to Thomas Tuchel's decision.
Havertz went into the match without a goal in five Premier League appearances and his performances were attracting attention for all of the wrong reasons. The Germany international had lost all confidence in front of goal and looked a shadow of the player we all know he can be when he is firing.
In the 23-year-old's time at Stamford Bridge, his problem has always been putting a run of matches together where he is putting 8/10 performances in. There was one point last season – throughout March and then into the start of April – where he kept finding the back of the net and he was showcasing why Chelsea paid north of £70million for his services in 2020.
