Timo Werner reveals his delight after finally ending his 15-game goal drought

Timo Werner has revealed his relief after he finally put an end to his 15 Premier League game goal drought after his striker helped Chelsea overcome Newcastle at Stamford Bridge on Monday.

Werner's first league strike since November 7 meant the German went without a goal for exactly 1,000 minutes, which saw him heavily criticised for his role in the team – especially when the Blues parted with £53million to bring him in last summer.

Thomas Tuchel had insisted only a goal could restore Werner's shattered confidence and it appears that his strike against the Magpies has done just that, after he revealed that he was 'happy' to end his voodoo in front of goal.
