A selection of Chelsea fans on Twitter were delighted for Timo Werner after he bagged the only goal in the Premier League win over West Ham United on Saturday.
The 25-year-old has had a mixed debut season for the Blues, and he has been guilty of squandering multiple clear-cut scoring opportunities.
He has shown signs of improvement with key assists, and continued his good form by finding the back of the net against the Hammers in the 47th minute.
Ben Chilwell’s pinpoint pass in the box fell into the path of the German, who had the simple task of finding the back of the net from seven yards out.
The strike ended a 12-match goal drought for the forward, and it was only his second league goal for the Blues over the past five months.
Some of the club’s faithful were pleased for the German, and here are a few reactions.

Werner should have bagged a brace against the Hammers yesterday. He had a simple chance in the 54th minute, where he slashed his effort wide of the goal from few yards out.
Blues boss Thomas Tuchel was clearly stunned by the moment.
