Meanwhile, Werner scored from long range in his first appearance for RB Leipzig for more than two years.

The German forward was already Leipzig's all-time leading scorer and he enhanced that record by taking his tally to 79 goals in a 2-2 draw against Cologne.

After offloading two strikers this summer, Chelsea have not yet signed a direct replacement for either.

But Blues manager Thomas Tuchel will be hoping that summer signing Raheem Sterling can add goals to his team.

Sterling, who is more of a winger than a central striker, will make his home debut for Chelsea against Tottenham this weekend.

The England international scored 131 goals in 339 games across seven seasons for former club Manchester City.
