Former Chelsea No 2 Jody Morris claims Kai Havertz 'had one of his BEST games in a Chelsea shirt' against Lille, insisting Thomas Tuchel made the right decision in picking German over Romelu Lukaku

Former Chelsea midfielder and ex-assistant manager Jody Morris praises Thomas Tuchel for picking Kai Havertz over Romelu Lukaku in their 2-0 win over Lille in the Champions League.

The German international notched the first goal in the eighth minute before Christian Pulisic added to his tally to seal the victory for the Blues in the first-leg of their last-16 tie at Stamford Bridge.

It was a bold decision from the boss to drop £97million signing Lukaku after coming under intense criticism as he continues to struggle since his return to west London.
