Timo Werner produces HORRENDOUS miss in Germany's shock World Cup qualifying defeat to North Macedonia... with the £53m Chelsea striker spurning the chance just five minutes before the minnows scored their winning goal

Timo Werner failed to tap into an empty net from a few yards out during Germany's shocking 2-1 home loss to North Macedonia on Wednesday.

On a humiliating night for Joachim Low's side - who went down to the side ranked 65th in the world - Werner was given a golden chance to put Germany in front with 10 minutes to play with the scores locked at 1-1.

Ilkay Gundogan did well to sprint down the left and fashion a simple chance for the Chelsea striker, who got his feet muddled up inside the penalty area and the shot went wide.
