During this afternoon’s Bundesliga clash between RB Leipzig and bottom-placed Paderborn, Timo Werner – who has reportedly sealed a move to Chelsea, had a moment to forget.
After Leipzig defended a corner, Werner pressed the defender in his own-half before using his lightning-fast speed to latch onto a wayward pass, before also beating the goalkeeper with some fine dribbling.
With the Germany international in the box and bearing down on goal, the 24-year-old’s side-foot strike towards an empty net went wide of the post. Werner did everything perfect until the finish.
According to German publication Sport Bild, Werner has snubbed a potential move to Liverpool in favour of a move to the Reds’ rivals Chelsea.
Christian Falk revealed later on Thursday that the forward has agreed a five-year deal with the Blues, worth around €192,000-a-week.
Take a look at the effort below:
Congratulations, @ChelseaFC.
Y’all are really aiming for glory now, nobody will be ready.

It wasn’t all bad for Werner today, the ace did assist Leipzig’s only goal of the afternoon.
Even the best of players have a moment to forget at times and this was just a slight blip for Werner in an otherwise sensational season, the ace has bagged 31 goals and chipped in with 13 assists this term.
