Chelsea star Kai Havertz was singled out by Thomas Tuchel as one of the game's few bright spots in last night's 2-1 victory over Watford.
On a difficult evening's work at Vicarage Road, the Blues delivered a subpar performance. However, it's another excellent result that demonstrates true grit.
Tuchel's side picked up three more points to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League table over chasing duo Manchester City and Liverpool.
Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech each scored the game-winning goal on Wednesday.
First and foremost, Mount scored from close range in the first half before Watford equalized. Ziyech, on the other hand, came off the bench in the second half to score with his preferred left foot.
Tuchel appeared dissatisfied with Chelsea's overall performance in midweek, but he praised Havertz's contribution.
The 22-year-old was recalled to the starting lineup to spearhead the attack and worked tirelessly.
Chelsea's Havertz shines
Havertz should be overjoyed after receiving praise from Tuchel during the post-match press conference.
The left-footer frequently divides fans because it always feels like he has more to offer, but he put in the effort last night.
His calmness in assisting Mount's first goal demonstrated his football intelligence. Furthermore, he was unlucky not to pick up another couple of assists.
