Chelsea manager Frank Lampard hopes that Kai Havertz and Timo Werner will build confidence from scoring in the FA Cup win over Morecambe.
Timo Werner ended his goal drought against Morecambe, though Kai Havertz also scored in a 4-0 victory for Chelsea.
Werner ended a goal drought of 827 minutes with the home side second, Mason Mount having opened the scoring in a 4-0 victory at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Discussing Werner, who had not scored for his club since a 4-1 win over Sheffield United on November 7, Lampard said: “I’m pleased for him.”
“Strikers want to score goals and he’s had plenty of near misses in those times. He’s been getting in positions to score goals but they haven’t been going in for him.”
“I was pleased to play him today and get him confidence from scoring a goal. It wasn’t easy, there wasn’t space behind them because they defended so deep, but he gets his goal and moves onwards.”
“It’s important that we understand with both Timo and Kai that they are young lads coming into this league. Tough patches are normal coming into the Premier League – some of the greatest players that have graced it have found that at the beginning.”
“That is a nice little step for both of them.”
