Thomas Tuchel's clear Dortmund message plots Chelsea transfer path to Erling Haaland saviour

Maybe it rubber-stamped how low Timo Werner's confidence had got at Kenilworth Road that after he slotted home Chelsea's desperately needed equaliser, he turned and ran back to the halfway line.

Little sign of a smile or easing of pressure, you would have almost assumed he'd put his effort wide. This was Werner's first Chelsea goal since the tap-in against Chesterfield in the third round of the FA Cup. Before that, you had to go back to November 23rd against Juventus, a similarly simple tap-in.

Probably the best part of the finish against Luton on Wednesday was the feeling of precise execution. The run, the expert pass from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and well-placed finish.
