Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel says Timo Werner will be feeling more confident after breaking his 14-game goal drought.

The German scored and assisted in the 2-0 win over Newcastle United on Monday.

"For the strikers the last per cent of confidence and belief come from goals, nothing else," Tuchel said after the game.

"But he worked hard for that. In the last game he was very decisive with the assist and winning the decisive penalty for us.

"Again today he has an assist, and the goal, and this is super important for him. I'm happy because he put in a lot of effort and hard work off the ball. I think it was a big relief but we saw it coming."
