Tuchel Confident Werner Goals Will Come As Chelsea Beat Sheffield United

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel hailed Timo Werner's contribution to a 2-1 win at bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United despite the German international's Premier League goal drought extending to 11 games. Werner set up Mason Mount's opener and won the decisive penalty, converted by Jorginho, as Chelsea closed to within a point of the top four with a third win in Tuchel's four games in charge. "When he plays like this we are very happy," said Tuchel. "This was a big step forward. The first goal was an amazing run and amazing assist. The goals will come."

Werner was left on the bench for Frank Lampard's final two league games before the former England international was sacked last month.

One of Tuchel's targets is to get the 24-year-old producing the prolific numbers he did for Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
