Timo Werner has admitted his Chelsea goal drought was 'the worst time of my career' and that he 'felt guilty' after his missed chances led to Frank Lampard getting the sack.
The German striker, who cost Chelsea £47.5million last summer, went 14 Premier League matches without a goal between November 7 and February 15.
During that time, Chelsea saw a potential title challenge disintegrate following a run of five defeats in eight games that saw club legend Lampard replaced by Thomas Tuchel.
His barren league run finally ended with a goal in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Newcastle United just under two weeks ago though Werner did score against League Two Morecambe in the FA Cup in January.
