Timo Werner scores in his pre-season debut for Chelsea (Watch Goal on Video)

Timo Werner wasted no time hitting the ground running after needing just four minutes to open his Chelsea account.

The £53million summer signing is off to a flyer after linking up with fellow new arrival Hakim Ziyech to score in their pre-season clash with Brighton.

Boss Frank Lampard announced a strong starting XI that also included the likes of N’Golo Kante and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

But it appears Werner has already stolen the show by scoring with just his second touch of the ball.

A brilliant pass from Ziyech found Hudson-Odoi in the box who headed it into the path of Werner.

The 24-year-old goal machine needed no second introduction before burying his chance confidently in the bottom corner.
