Midfielder Kai Havertz got off the mark with a hat-trick as Chelsea thrashed Barnsley 6-0 at Stamford Bridge in the third round of the League Cup on Wednesday. Havertz, who joined Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen for 71 million pounds, started both of his side`s Premier League games against Brighton and Hove Albion and Liverpool. Ross Barkley further stretched Frank Lampard`s side`s advantage early in the second period before Havertz, 21, struck twice in the space of 10 minutes to complete his treble.

The full-back, who came on as a substitute in the former Premier League side`s first match back in England`s second tier, took to Twitter after the game to call out the instigators. 

 Leeds United sacked manager Paul Heckingbottom on Friday after less than four months in charge of the second-tier English club.
