Timo Werner has been haphazard in front of goal since his £53m move to Chelsea and he was again in the West Ham win... but his first goal in two months could help the striker click into the groove at just the right time

If Chelsea are to turn this season into something memorable, they need Timo Werner to spearhead the team like a world-class striker they thought he was when they agreed to pay £53million for his services.

They need him to lead the line, score the goals and shoulder the burden in the biggest games, just as he did by scoring the only goal in this crucial victory in the scramble for the top four.

They will hope Werner can replicate his performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final.
