Chelsea forward Werner: Tuchel can scream at me in German!

Chelsea striker Timo Werner admits Thomas Tuchel has helped him return to form.

The summer signing snapped a 14-game goalless streak by netting in the 2-0 win over Newcastle United on Tuesday.

Tuchel was brought to replace Frank Lampard at the end of January, and Werner says having a German speaking coach has helped his game.

He said: "It's helped me that someone can scream at me in German - he's a really good guy - has a good idea of the football we want to play and when we have more and more training sessions with him we will get better and better.

"A few weeks ago we were somewhere and nowhere and we were a lot of points behind fourth place, we want to keep going. Only four points to second place and lots have said we won't reach top four at the end of the season but here we are. We have a good shape, we're back on track."
