Timo Werner must seize the moment: Thomas Tuchel after striker ends goal drought in Chelsea win

Timo Werner ended his two-month scoring drought with the winning goal as Chelsea beat West Ham 1-0 in the English Premier League and pulled three points clear of its London rival in the race for Champions League qualification on Saturday.

Timo Werner must seize the moment and start scoring regularly, Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said after the player ended his goal drought to earn his side a 1-0 win at West Ham in the Premier League on Saturday. The former RB Leipzig striker has struggled in his first season at Stamford Bridge and had managed only two goals in 2021 in all competitions for club and country. But the Germany international slotted home in the 43rd minute at the London Stadium for his sixth league goal since arriving in west London -- lifting fourth-placed Chelsea three points clear of West Ham in the battle for a top-four spot.
