Kai Havertz ends Champions League duck as Joao Felix also makes mark

Chelsea came from behind to draw 1-1 at Salzburg in the Champions League, with Kai Havertz scoring his first goal in the competition this season and Joao Felix netting on his debut for the Blues.

After a goalless first half, Noah Okafor put Salzburg ahead with a fine finish in the 64th minute. But Havertz levelled just six minutes later, coolly controlling Hakim Ziyech's pass and slotting home.

Havertz's goal was his first in the Champions League since last season's semi-final against Real Madrid. The Germany international has been in impressive form for Chelsea this season, scoring five goals in all competitions.

Felix made his debut for Chelsea after completing a loan move from Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. The Portuguese forward showed glimpses of his talent, but he was unable to find the winner for the Blues.

The draw leaves Chelsea top of Group E, with six points from their two games. Salzburg are second with four points, while AC Milan and Dinamo Zagreb are both on one point.

Conclusion

Havertz's goal was a timely reminder of his quality, and Felix's debut was a promising sign for Chelsea. The Blues will be hoping to build on this result when they face Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
