Thierry Henry compares Kai Havertz to Robin van Persie after the German's starring role in Chelsea's Champions League triumph over Dortmund... but warns he must score more goals for the Blues

Thierry Henry has likened Chelsea star Kai Havertz to Premier League icon Robin van Persie after impressing against Borussia Dortmund.

Havertz scored as the Blues beat the German side 2-0, 2-1 on aggregate, at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night to progress to the Champions League quarter-finals.

The German forward netted a re-taken second-half penalty, just his seventh goal in all competitions so far this season.

And though legendary former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry praised Havertz' hold-up play, he warned that he must also find the net more often.
