Kai Havertz, the most expensive player in Chelsea's history, scored the solitary goal of the match as Thomas Tuchel's side defeated Premier League champions Manchester City 1-0 in the summit clash.

He does everything. The energy he brings, I don't know how many ball recoveries he had today. The way he drives the ball forward, he covers so much ground," Goal.com quoted Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta as saying.
