Kai Havertz has scored his first goal for Chelsea.The attacking midfielder got off the mark by scoring the Blues' second goal in their EFL Cup contest against Championship side Barnsley at Stamford Bridge.Havertz shone in the first half with some decent touches of the ball.And his efforts were rewarded on the half hour mark when he turned the ball home from close range.
Chelsea paid Bayer Leverkusen £71.6 million to sign Havertz so there's a lot of pressure on the youngster's performances.He was largely ineffective in his first two games for the club, against Brighton and Chelsea, but an EFL Cup contest against Barnsley presented Havertz with a great opportunity to gain some confidence.And it proved to be the perfect match for the 21-year-old to do just that by scoring his first Chelsea goal.
