Kai Havertz aimed his celebration at goalkeeper Jordan Pickford after netting in the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
- Havertz on target against Everton
- Mocks Pickford with celebration
- Potter not too impressed
WHAT HAPPENED? Havertz netted his third goal in three games for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, converting a 78th minute penalty to put his side 2-1 up. The Germany international appeared to mock Pickford as he celebrated, and Graham Potter was asked after the game if he would advise Havertz against such actions in the future.
WHAT THEY SAID: “I’m not sure. When players score, they have something like an out-of-body experience,” told reporters. “I didn’t score many myself so I wouldn’t know. You should enjoy the celebration, I don’t think you need to involve the opponent. That would be my perspective.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Chelsea twice took the lead in the match but were denied victory as Abdoulaye Doucoure and Ellis Simms both scored for the visitors to snatch a point. The draw leaves Potter’s side down in 10th place in the table and has halted their recent revival.
