Kai Havertz Turns The Premier League Into FIFA Street With Sensational Touch Vs Palace

Chelsea forward Kai Havertz produced one of the most satisfying first touches of the season vs Crystal Palace in a first-half masterclass.

The 21-year-old arrived from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer and has failed to establish himself in the side.

But new manager Thomas Tuchel is in the middle of testing Havertz as a false nine and within eight minutes, he managed to score.

It wasn't just the goal that had people talking however. The 22nd minute saw him control a Jorginho pass by flicking the ball high in the air before striking it on the volley.

You just can't teach that and it probably deserved a goal at the end.

Fans have reacted to Havertz's performance so far and they think he has finally arrived in the Premier League.

Christian Pulisic doubled Chelsea's lead in the tenth minute and they attacked relentlessly for the rest of the half.

Kurt Zouma managed to get on the scoresheet from a set piece to make it 3-0 on the half hour mark.

The Blues came into this gaming outside the top four after Liverpool's last-gasp 2-1 victory over Aston Villa earlier on Saturday.

Do you think Chelsea will make it into the top four?
