Kai Havertz is ‘technically brilliant but can also look lazy and laboured', says Peter Crouch as he compares German unfavourably to Mesut Ozil after Chelsea’s defeat at Juventus

Peter Crouch says 'technically gifted' Kai Havertz can look 'lazy and laboured' after the midfielder endured a frustrating night in Chelsea's 1-0 defeat by Juventus.

Havertz was brought back into the starting XI by Thomas Tuchel after being left out for the game against Man City but he found it difficult to create chances against a defensive Juve outfit.

He also wasted the best opportunity the visitors had when he headed over Ben Chilwell's corner in injury time.
