‘The Goals Will Come’- Werner Hopes To End Scoring Drought Soon
Timo Werner has now gone 14 Premier League games without a goal for Chelsea but the German striker is still hoping to end his goal drought soon.
The 24-year-old played an instrumental role as Thomas Tuchel’s men recorded a 2-1 win over Sheffield United at Brammal Lane on Sunday, setting up Mason Mount for the opener and winning the penalty which Jorginho converted to take Chelsea fifth on the league table.
Werner’s last top flight goal for the Blues was in a 4-1 win over the Blades at Stamford Bridge on November 7 last year.
In total, the former RB Leipzig striker has scored just four times in 22 league appearances for Chelsea but he believes the goals will soon flow to complement some recent good performances.
“Overall a good win for us, difficult against a high defending Sheffield United and proud that we continue our last wins,” he told Sky Sports after the victory over Chris Wilder’s men.
“For myself, again there was no goal but it is good to see I can help the team with other things.
"I am happy when we win and with two assists, but as a striker you want to score, it has been a long time and I have not had this long without in my career. The goals will come.”
Chelsea will host Newcastle United in their next league outing but have an FA Cup date at Barnsley on Thursday before taking on the Magpies.
