JAKARTA - Three Chelsea summer recruits have finally produced goals to silence critics. Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz played a key role in the Blues' win over Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League last 16.

Atletico Madrid had no answer to the Blues' opener at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night. Diego Simeone's men are in the balance after the first leg in Spain Chelsea won 1-0.

Ziyech made the home crowd smile with a kick in the first half. The former Ajax winger had to thank his Chelsea team-mates for giving him the chance to score.

It all started with Havertz taking a clever stroke at Werner, who showed his speed to break through the left flank.

Atletico, known for their world-class defense, had no way to respond to Chelsea's counter-attacks as Werner chose the ideal moment to cut the ball towards Ziyech.

Jan Oblak failed to hold onto the ball as Ziyech scored to give Chelsea real hope of a Champions League quarter-final place.

All three players had a slow start in London, which ultimately cost Frank Lampard his job. Now, Thomas Tuchel is starting to get what they want from them as shown by last night's goal.

Havertz, Werner and Ziyech were bought by Chelsea at a high price. Respectively of 72 million pounds (IDR1.4 trillion), 48 million pounds (IDR964 billion) and 38 million pounds (IDR763 billion). The total is about 158 million pounds (IDR 3.1 trillion)

The three of them are now able to repay the club's trust at the end of the season. But, it's never too late.
