Kai Havertz reveals he is only Chelsea's THIRD choice penalty taker - despite the German scoring coolly from the spot to help the Blues to Club World Cup glory

Kai Havertz has admitted he is Chelsea's third-choice penalty taker after scoring from the spot to help his side win the Club World Cup final.

The German attacking midfielder stepped up in the 118th minute against Palmeiras in Abu Dhabi on Saturday night, strolling up to the ball and nervelessly sending goalkeeper Weverton the wrong way to score what proved the winning goal.

And Havertz told Channel 4 after the game that Jorginho and Romelu Lukaku are ahead of him in the pecking order and would have taken it had they been on the pitch, before opening up about his nerves before the penalty.
