For Timo Werner, Saturday must have felt like a massive relief. With his Chelsea career heading firmly towards its sorry end, with every passing performance, it appeared any glimpse of the striker Chelsea thought they had bought sapped away.
Against Southampton, Thomas Tuchel and the boisterous travelling support under the south coast sun got peak-Werner. This was the devastating speed £47m was invested in and on a very rare occasion, Werner was gifted a defence of his design.
Rather than Southampton in the Premier League, this game could have been played at Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. His first goal of the afternoon was the perfect archetype of the style of finish he'd execute for Leipzig.
