Timo Werner hopes the end of his Chelsea goal drought will signal a fresh start after the German striker’s troubled spell at Stamford Bridge.
Werner headed Chelsea’s opener in their League Cup third round tie against Aston Villa on Wednesday. It was Werner’s first goal in 11 games for Thomas Tuchel’s side, offering renewed belief he can be an asset to the Blues in their push to win the EPL and Champions League.
Werner, 25, was a disappointment in his first season at Chelsea and the signing of Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku from Inter could have been disheartening for Werner.
