Why Kai Havertz was fuming before stunning Chelsea goal and Cesar Azpilicueta's joy vs Salzburg

Chelsea sealed their qualification into the last-16 of the Champions League and their place as Group E winners thanks to their 2-1 victory over Red Bull Salzburg while AC Milan comfortably dispatched Dinamo Zagreb. The Blues will welcome the Croatian side to Stamford Bridge with little on the line but perhaps hoping for revenge after defeat in the opening game of the competition in September which was Thomas Tuchel's final match.

Tuesday night saw stunning goals from Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz separate Chelsea from their Austrian opponents as Graham Potter sprung some surprises, and the Blues rode out some difficult moments on their way to three points.

It will be a relief for the west London side who opened the campaign with a loss and a draw before recording consecutive victories over AC Milan, while Potter extends his unbeaten run as Chelsea head coach. All in all, a good night's work for the Blues ahead of this weekend's match against Brighton.
