Chelsea striker Werner scores twice for Germany in Leipzig

Chelsea ace Timo Werner scored twice for Germany in Leipzig in Saturday evening.

Werner had scored eight goals and assisted three more in his previous eight matches in the build-up to Saturday's Uefa Nations League clash against Ukraine in Leipzig - the home of his former club, RB Leipzig.

And Frank Lampard's signing continued his hot streak with a brace for Joachim Low's side as Die Nationalmannschaft fought back from a goal down to seal a 3-1 victory.

Roman Yaremchuk opened the scoring for the visitors in Leipzig, but Leroy Sane pulled Germany level before Werner's goal sent the hosts into the break 2-1 up.

Werner then added another after the interval to ensure a victory for Germany, who remain top of their Nations League table.
