RB Leipzig summer recruit Timo Werner's misery extended to a return of just one goal in 17 matches.

Thomas Tuchel has admitted Timo Werner needs to break his scoring duck to restore his dented confidence with Chelsea.

Defenders Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso rifled fine goals to show misfiring £53million striker Werner the way as Chelsea saw off Burnley 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues sealed just a third Premier League win in 10 matches, moved up to seventh in the table and handed new boss Tuchel his first win at the second time of asking.

RB Leipzig summer recruit Werner’s misery extended to a return of just one goal in 17 matches in all competitions however, leaving Tuchel again to defend the out-of-sorts 24-year-old.

Burnley failed to muster a shot on target, with James Tarkowski’s added-time effort in fact their only strike at goal at all.

Despite the paltry attacking return, boss Sean Dyche was not about to start fretting as the Clarets’ run of three wins came to an end.

Asked if he was concerned by the lack of goal threat, Dyche said: “Well certainly not a concern when you come to a place like this. That sometimes happens.

“In the first-half up until the goal I was pretty happy.

“We didn’t make the most of our opportunities and that’s a frustration.

“But it showed the truth of the market we’re in, when you come to a team that can spend hundreds of millions of pounds, sometimes things like this can happen.”
