Thomas Tuchel hails Chelsea's 'very hungry, very aggressive' first 35 minutes that put them in control against Crystal Palace... before challenging Kai Havertz to 'show his quality' regularly after admitting he 'could have actually scored more'

Thomas Tuchel has challenged Kai Havertz to 'show his quality' more regularly for Chelsea despite a bright attacking performance against Crystal Palace.

Attacking midfielder Havertz, a £62million summer signing from Bayer Leverkusen, scored the opening goal and was heavily involved in Chelsea's forward play in a dominant 4-1 win at Selhurst Park.

But Blues manager Tuchel stated the 21-year-old German could have in fact been more clinical with the chances presented to him.
