0.19 xG from open play. Not good enough.

Brilliant coordination between provider & goalscorer.

Martinelli's penetration from where he receives the ball (left) to his delicate dink over the defence (right), in the process pulling Havertz's marker away from the German.

Havertz's movement & touch are 👌

Superb goal.
