That’s because Werner was able to score from 30 yards in – how shall we say? Plus, that could well be the stroke of luck that Werner needs to feel like himself again in front of goal and start delivering the scoring tallies that we all know he can produce when he’s on song.

"In March, when I heard there was an opportunity to come back here, slowly I didn't say anything, but toward the end of the season we did a very good job with the club and I was able to come back here. I had no doubts, that's why I made the decision to come back here." I had the opportunity to go back there and thought I would be a hero, but that wasn't the case. I saw that as a player with Inter I did well, the season at Chelsea for me was difficult. "The season at Chelsea gave me extra motivation to do even better than before," he told DAZN.

I think before, when I left, I wanted to take revenge at Chelsea because when I was young it was my team for 11 years.
