The England international opened his account for the club on Saturday, when he scored both goals in a 2-1 Premier League win over Leicester at the Bridge, and his fellow forward believes it was no less than he deserved. 'We are all delighted for him,' said Havertz. 'You can see in every training session how much work and effort he puts in, and he just deserves it. https://i.imgur.com/EHazET9.jpg 'It is nice to play with him. He has lot of experience and knows how to move, and it helps you a lot if you have such experienced players next to you. His style of play suits us very well.' Sterling's match-winning contribution against Leicester, to give the Blues victory despite going down to 10 men in the first half, was impressive, but Havertz insists there will plenty more still to come from the 27-year-old as he becomes more familiar with his new surroundings, even if he has already settled quickly at Chelsea. 'We needed goals, he scored two goals in the end and that's the most important thing. In the end, I think he did well and he helped us a lot. https://i.imgur.com/ElIyUtJ.jpg Sterling celebrates his first goal for Chelsea 'It is very exciting to have him here. We have played four games and he has shown his quality again on Saturday. Sometimes it takes a bit of time to adapt 100 per cent, but he has adapted very fast and we can build on that in the future.' While Sterling got off the mark against Leicester, Havertz is still looking for his first goal of the new campaign, after finding the net 14 times in all competitions in 2021/22, with his most recent strike coming in the win over Watford on the last day of last season. Although the German didn't have much in the way of opportunities to change that against Leicester, he is eager to do so when we travel to Southampton in the Premier League on Tuesday evening, acknowledging there is always pressure on strikers to score goals, no matter how much else they contribute to the team. 'It is not about luck, I didn't have a shot on target on Saturday,' added Havertz. 'I need to score, I know this, my job is to score. I want to score and I play to score and I will keep on working. I hope to do it on Tuesday. https://i.imgur.com/fhfJizt.jpg Havertz on the ball against Leicester 'The pressure is always there when you play up front, you can always feel it. My game is not only about scoring goals, it is about helping the team with other qualities and I try to do that as well.' Thankfully our No29 doesn't have to wait long for his next chance to find the net, so expect to see a very happy Havertz if the German's name appears on the score sheet at St Mary's in our next match, especially if it is alongside Sterling's. -- Burrell:“如果神搞你，你就想办法搞回来。这里是巴尔的摩，各位， https://i.imgur.com/yUFOUG1.gif 神也救不了你们。” - The Wire: Season 3, Episode 3 --
