Poyet joined Chelsea on a free transfer in June 1997. Not long into his first season at the London club, he suffered [[cruciate ligament]] damage, this meant he missed the victorious [[1998 Football League Cup Final]] but recovered to play in the team's successful Cup Winners' Cup Final against [[VfB Stuttgart]]. The following year, he contributed 14 goals – making him the club's second highest scorer – to help Chelsea finish third in the [[FA Premier League|Premiership]], including a crucial headed goal in 1–0 win against [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Chelsea book Champions League spot |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/fa_carling_premiership/336382.stm |work=BBC News |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation |date=5 May 1999 |access-date=28 April 2012}}</ref> He also scored the winner for Chelsea in the [[1998 UEFA Super Cup]] against [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Poyet secures Super Cup |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/160584.stm |work=BBC News |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation |date=28 August 1998 |access-date=28 April 2012}}</ref> In [[1999–2000 in English football|1999–2000]], he scored 18 goals (which again made him Chelsea's second highest scorer), with a scissors-kick volley against [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]],<ref>{{cite news |title=Chelsea open season in style |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/fa_carling_premiership/414261.stm |work=BBC News |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation |date=7 August 1999 |access-date=28 April 2012}}</ref> a long range strike against [[S.S.
