A New Kai Havertz or A New Look Graham Potter Chelsea?

Ahead of the game versus Bournemouth, quite a lot of the Chelsea fandom had a load fear going into the premier league fixture following a poor run of form by the Graham Potter side prior to the world cup break, amidst their worries was Kai Havertz and his poor form.

But heading into the premier league restart, the former Bayer Leverkusen star proved a new man, firing the Blues to the lead via a clinical finish before the lead was doubled by Mason Mount from an outside-the-penalty box shot.

The two goals scored had input from Kai Havertz as it gave Graham Potter’s team a crucial three points on Tuesday.

The pressure was on Graham Potter’s Chelsea to turn things around as they returned to Premier League play after dropping their previous three games. They were ranked eighth going into their game on Tuesday.

The German played a crucial role in a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, which offered encouraging prospects for the remainder of the season.

With their goals in the first half against the Cherries, Havertz and Mason Mount were the pivotal players, but Graham Potter may be pleased with other players as well.

In his first Premier League game after signing on loan from Juventus, Denis Zakaria performed admirably. He gave the Chelsea midfield some balance again and made Jorginho his best.

Reece James was thrilled to be back in the starting lineup for the Blues after being out since early October, but the 23-year-old was forced to exit the game due to an injury, which will worry his coach given how well he played.

Despite the injury concerns, Chelsea still had a successful evening as they attempt to climb back up the table.
