Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has defended Timo Werner after a glaring miss in victory over Fulham.

The German forward came off the bench and was presented with a golden opportunity to put the Blues 2-0 up, but fired well wide when played through on goal.

Quizzed on whether Chelsea's No.11 is lacking confidence, Lampard told Sky Sports: "I don't know.

"I think it's normal, I think if you don't score as regularly as you want, he scored last week in the FA Cup.

"But those are goals I've seen him score many a time. His bread and butter is going through like that and scoring and it happens.

"He has to just keep working, it's the only way out of it. We've all been there if you're a goalscorer or a striker.

"Everyone will say the same, get back on the training pitch, [be] pleased you're getting in there, go again.

"It'll go in for him because he's high quality. I was delighted to see him to get through [on goal].

"He likes to be in those positions, we're getting him in positions there when he came on and he will score."
