Kai Havertz strike in the first half was enough as Chelsea cruised to champions league glory at the Estadio Do Dragao in Portugal against pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
The premier league champions may have dominated possession, but it was their opponents who created the clearer chances throughout 90 mintes and should have had the final wrapped up much earlier than this.
Substitude Christian Pulisic somehow fired wide with just Ederson to beat- adding to two gilt-edged opportunities squandered by Timo Werner in the first half
Werner should have scored twice in the first 25 minutes with City on two occasions, last ditch interventions away from opening the scoring themselves.
Mason Mount incisive pass in the 42 minutes found the round of Havaertz with Zinchenko trailing.
It was the German’s Kai Havertz rounding Ederson to hand Chelsea a deserving victory over Manchester City.
The second half saw Guardiola introducing Fernandinho Sergio Aguero and Jesus Navas to add more bite to his team but was still difficult for the Citizens to break down a resilient Thomas Tuchel side.
The win secures Chelsea a second European glory after nine years with Tuchel expected to lead the side next season.
