Werner looked back to his best throughout the 3-3 draw with the Russian champions, scoring twice and assisting Romelu Lukaku’s leveller.

Timo’s strike one minute and 23 seconds into the match became Chelsea’s fastest ever UEFA Champions League goal, overtaking former captain John Terry who notched in 2014.

Speaking first about his personal game, the German acknowledged his satisfaction at returning to top form.

‘It was important for me to come back in the shape and the two goals and assist helped to come back to a level as what I had before the injury,' said Timo.

‘I am happy about that. But in the end, you play like a team and when you don’t win you are also disappointed.’

Timo highlighted Chelsea’s bright start at the Gazprom Arena but ultimately thinks the side dropped below our levels which meant we went into the break behind.

‘We had a very good 15 minutes and I don’t know why we dropped,' added the German. 'I think the goal helped us to come into the game.

‘But at the end we had not the last punch to score the second goal in the first 15 minutes because we had the chances to create some good opportunities and after that we lacked a bit of confidence.

‘In the second half we played much better, and we turned the result around. After the first half when you lead 3-2 you have to win this game.’

The German also touched on his recent hamstring injury, which kept him out of five matches.

‘Before my injury I felt much better than the week before and I had much more confidence in my movements and my style and how I play,' explained the forward.

‘After injury it was difficult to come back after one month. I never had something like that.’
