Chelsea got their pre-season campaign under way with a trip to Brighton & Hove Albion, and Timo Werner did not waste time to open his Blues account within 4 minutes of the encounter.

Hakim Ziyech put in a superb ball to Callum Hudson-Odoi, but the Engliah youngster made a mess of the header, but it fell nicely to Werner who tapped home.

It sent Chelsea fans into meltdown on social media with many predicting it will be the first of many.

One said: “He needed just four minutes to score, we’ve signed a gem.”

Another added: “It took him four minutes… that Ziyech link is phenomenal.”

A third said: “Timo Werner scores less than 4 minutes into his Chelsea debut.

“What a ball from Ziyech to start the move. Wow.”

One fan noted: “Admin drunk on the tears of other fans after seeing Werner score inside 5 mins.”

Timo Werner has scored his first @ChelseaFC goal.

It's only been 11 minutes but already really like the look of Timo Werner. Clever movement, drifting wide right at times, swapping with Ziyech, precise touch. Looks sharp.

Werner has a release clause, Ben Chilwell didn't.

Thats what you call a "mic drop" https://t.co/WsnF9EYzJt
