Kai Havertz bagged a hat-trick as Chelsea progressed into the EFL Cup fourth round with a dominant 6-0 win over Barnsley.
Prior to this match, Havertz had struggled to stamp his authority in his first two Premier League appearances, but the former Bayer Leverkusen star got up and running in English football in style on Wednesday.
It was Tammy Abraham who opened the scoring, and Havertz doubled Chelsea’s lead before playing his part in Ross Barkley putting the hosts 3-0 up.
Havertz added to his tally with a superb finish soon after, subsequently rounding off his first senior hat-trick 10 minutes later – Olivier Giroud making it six for Chelsea late on.
