UEFA Champions League: Chelsea sealed round of 16 qualification after 2-1 win over RB Salzburg. Goals from Kovacic and Kai Havertz ensured Blues claimed win in Austria

Chelsea defeated RB Salzburg 2-1 in their UEFA Champions League clash on Tuesday night.

Goals from Mateo Kovacic and Kai Havertz ensured that the Blues claimed their qualification into the knock out stage.

If you recall that Chelsea played 1-1 draw against Salzburg in Graham Potter first game in charge.

Meanwhile Chelsea secured their spot in the last-16 of the Champions League with a 2-1 win over RB Salzburg on Tuesday night at the Red Bull Arena.

Chelsea took the lead in the 34th minute in stunning fashion. The ball came onto Mateo Kovacic’s left foot on the edge of the box and he instinctively swiped it goalwards and it found the top corner to put the visitors ahead.

RB Salzburg  levelled two minutes later through Junior Adamu as he tucked home a neat move from the Austrian side.

But Chelsea finally got their second in the 64th minute after Havertz got the ball on the edge of the area and curled into the top left corner - via the crossbar - to restore Potter’s side’s lead.
