That was quick, and we won’t be complaining! A shot by Kai Havertz leads to the first corner play of the game in Chelsea’s favour, with Hakim Ziyech taking it. He puts a nice cross to the box that meets Kai on a free run towards the goal, meeting the ball with a downward header to beat the opposing shot-stopper and get Chelsea in the lead against Lille
