Chelsea striker Werner insists Prem title race still alive

Chelsea striker Timo Werner insists they're not out of the title race.

Chelsea suffered a blow last night after a 1-1 draw with Brighton, leaving them 12 points behind leaders Manchester City.

Werner said: "We believe that things can change very quickly in the Premier League, although of course we understand how good Manchester City are, especially in the league, and when they have such an advantage, they are not easy to beat.

"We have something to fight for this year, we are fighting in the Champions League, we have reached the League Cup final and we have a chance in the FA Cup and the Club World Cup. We have the opportunity to win a trophy this season, so there is time to put our heads down, roll up our sleeves and work."
