WATCH Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz score beautiful goals to seal Chelsea victory over RB Salzburg.

MATCH REPORT: RB Salzburg 1-2 Chelsea: Goals from Mateo Kovacic in the first half and Kai Havertz in the second. 
The Blues returned to Champions League action after a draw last week against the Red Devils and were looking to seal their spot in the Champions League round of 16. 

The result, a 2-1 win, is enough to book our passage from Group E with a game to spare although we were made to work hard for the victory by a gallant Salzburg side.

Goals in either half from Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz were enough to see us past Salazburg, who had levelled shortly after half-time through Junior Adamu.

In truth, both sides could have scored more but each goalkeeper – Kepa Arrizabalaga and in particular Philipp Kohn – both produced a number of impressive stops.

Both Chelsea goals were strikes right out of the top drawer. Kovacic, born 75 miles east to Salzburg in Linz, found the top corner with an instinctive left-footed drive that left Kohn with no chance to get us up and running.

While Adamu poked past Kepa to draw the hosts level, it was a moment of sheer quality from Havertz that won this game.

Both goals scored from Kovacic and Havertz were extreme beauties and you can catch all of them here.

Former Chelsea Doctor, Eva Caneiro set to make dazzling return to football with new role in the 2022 World Cup revealed.

 Remember Eva Caneiro? The former Chelsea Doctor? The Blues could be seeing her back in football action again, this time, in the World Cup.  One of the major incidents during Mourinho's second spell at Chelsea was the 'dismissal' of the club's Doctor, Eva Caneiro at the time.  Per GiveaMeSport, on the opening weekend of the 2015-16 Premier League campaign, Mourinho clashed with the then-Chelsea physio after she ran onto the pitch alongside colleague Jon Fearn to treat the injured Eden Hazard. Mourinho’s side were drawing 2-2 against Swansea City and the game had entered injury-time when the incident occurred. The revered Portuguese coach was furious with the medics, telling reporters afterwards: “I wasn’t happy with my medical staff because even if you are a medical doctor or secretary on the bench, you have to understand the game.” Mourinho felt that the medical intervention had affected his team’s chances of scoring a late winner and securing two more points.

EXCLUSIVE: Noni Madueke reveals he got his self-confidence from his Nigerian father in heart-warming story of his childhood and rise to football success.

 NoNI Madueke reveals he got his self-confidence from his Nigerian dad, while telling the story of his childhood, and his rise to football success.  Chelsea star, Noni Madueke has disclosed in an interview, the source of his self-confidence. Recall, Chelsea had signed Madueke from PSV Eindhoven in the just concluded transfer window. While he's yet to get more playing time, Noni Madueke has clearly impressed with the few minutes given him to perform. Worthy of mention is his mentality and self-confidence in his interviews at a young age. The Chelsea starlet has never stopped speaking of how much he will come good for Chelsea, with goals, and his ambition to win big for the club.  That determination to succeed certainly seems to have served Madueke well during his early career and later as he forged his own path through the professional game which has now brought him to Stamford Bridge. In the winger’s opinion, it is something he has always possessed, and he considers it an...
