Wow, take a breath!
Chelsea have done it in the most dramatic circumstances.
David Moyes has his arms raised in front of the officials and looks lost for words.
Tuchel’s inspired substitution of Ben Chilwell changed the game. He levelled the scores with a tidy finish before setting up Havertz to bury the winner.
Cornet then looked to have made amends after missing a sitter, but it was chalked off late in stoppage time after Bowen was judged to have fouled Mendy in the build-up.
Plenty of talking points. Stay with us for the reaction.
