Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was delighted with Timo Werner's double for their stunning 6-0 win at Southampton.
Having started Werner against Brentford but then left him on the bench midweek against Real Madrid, Tuchel restored him to the side . The striker responded with two goals as well as hitting the woodwork three times.
"We decided to play with two strikers, it was his favourite position against an opponent where we knew they would press high," noted Tuchel.
"The connection was amazing with Kai and Mason and Kova.
"He loves to play with them and it was an opponent where we could imagine finding spaces in behind because it's a higher attacking opponent. So it was set out for him to deliver and make a statement that he does not give up and is still an important player of this club. He did it and it was strong but also very necessary."
