Thomas Tuchel has lauded Timo Werner's performances against Southampton as the German striker bagged a brace in the Blues' 6-0 win. The German coach noted that his countryman proved that he remains an important part of Chelsea's squad.
Werner proved a constant threat to Southampton by forcing saves and hitting each post and the crossbar in addition to his two goals. The forward thrived alongside Kai Havertz with support from Mason Mount and Mateo Kovacic as the Saints' high line allowed plenty of room for him to attack.
Tuchel believes the system provided the ideal situation for Werner to deliver with well-suited opponents. That ultimately proved correct.
