The German star still scored in regular time and said the support of the Blues fans was "special"
Timo Werner has explained why he didn't take a penalty for Chelsea in Wednesday's shootout win over Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup.
The German forward scored Chelsea's only goal in the 54th minute, prompting the home fans to sing his name in celebration.
Often criticised for his struggles in front of goal, Werner acknowledged how special it was to hear the fans honour him following his second-half strike and said his absence from the shootout triumph was pain-related.
