Timo Werner last played in the Premier League a year and a half ago, back then for Chelsea FC. After poor performances in Leipzig, he now returned to England. And his debut for Tottenham was quite promising.
National player Timo Werner made a good debut for Tottenham Hotspur. The striker, on loan from RB Leipzig, prepared Rodrigo Bentancur’s second Tottenham goal in a 2-2 (1-2) draw at English football champions Manchester United on Sunday. Werner joined the North London club last week on loan until the end of the season. He made his last appearance in the Premier League on May 7, 2022 in the Chelsea FC jersey.
The 27-year-old played on the left offensive flank for South Korean Son Heung-Min, who was at the Asian Cup. Werner had Spurs’ first chance with his header (11th minute). Shortly before the break a shot went just past the post (45′). Shortly after the break, Werner brought on his team-mate Bentancur, who made it 2-2 (46′). After 80 minutes, the agile Werner was substituted.
