‘As a striker, you want to score’ – Werner admits personal disappointment despite strong performance in Chelsea win

Chelsea striker Timo Werner has admitted that his goal drought is starting to get to him – despite fashioning two goals as the Blues overcame Sheffield United away from home.

Thomas Tuchel’s undefeated run as Chelsea boss continued at Bramall Lane as goals from Mason Mount and Jorginho gave them maximum points. In between times, Antonio Rudiger struck an own goal for the hosts – the first goal that Chelsea have conceded under the German.

However, the overriding emotion was pleasure at the victory – and that also goes for Werner, though the former RB Leipzig man admitted that it was tinged with frustration.
