Havertz and Mount guide Chelsea into their Boxing Day clash

Kai Havertz and Mason Mount guided Chelsea against Bournemouth on Tuesday on Boxing Day, where the ‘blues’ beat Bournemouth (2-0). Goals from the German forward and the English midfielder (assisted by Havertz) allowed Chelsea to win thanks to which Graham Potter’s team is 8th in the Premier table, 6 points from the Champions League zone ( with one game less ). The bad news for the Londoners is that Reece James, returning after missing the World Cup, has once again retired injured.

It was the 16th minute when Chelsea advanced against Bournemotuh (14th) thanks to a great game, with a pass from Mount to Raheem Sterling, who assisted Havertz, which he scored with his left foot.

And in minute 24, Havertz helped M himselfount, who scored a shot from the edge of the area, had a thread. A great goal from the English international, the smartest, with his German teammate, in the first half. Zakaria started for the first time with Chelsea. Kepa defends the ‘blue’ goal.

Interventions by Mark Travers, goalkeeper of Bournemouth, prevented a greater advantage for Chelsea, as he reached out to deflect a Sterling shot, which could have been the third goal for Potter’s team. Before Christian Pulisic had a goal disallowed.

Another Chelsea was seen in the second half, with a Bournemouth starting to arrive in front of the goal well defended by Kepa. But Gary O’Neill’s team (in his first game as a permanent coach and not as an interim coach) missed the final pass. O’Neill replaced Scott Parker, but it was not until November 27 that he was named permanent manager.

A good shot was saved by Travers from Mount in the second half marked by injury and the tears of Reece James, who withdrew at 63′ (he was replaced by César Azpilicueta. Tests will determine the extent of the pain of the lateral.

As the discount drew to a close, Dominic Solanke had a shot, but didn’t score either. Chelsea lived off the profits of their good first halfbecause it falls sharply in level in the second.
