Kai Havertz Opens Chelsea Account With League Cup Hat Trick

Kai Havertz enjoyed his first Chelsea goal so much, he went on and scored two more.

Havertz, Chelsea's record summer signing from Bayer Leverkusen, scored the first senior hat trick of his career in Wednesday's 6-0 romp over Barnsley in the League Cup

Havertz was held scoreless in his first two appearances for the Blues (both in Premier League play), but he broke out against his second-tier opposition in a big way.

For his first, he was the beneficiary of a lovely dummy from Tammy Abraham on Mason Mount's pass, finishing from close range to give Chelsea a 2-0 lead in the 28th minute, after Abraham had opened the scoring nine minutes prior.
