Timo Werner ended his RB Leipzig career on a remakable note, making history for the club as the highest goal scorer in the history of the Bundesliga club.
The 24-year-old has sealed a £47.5million move to Chelsea this summer and guided Leipzig to third place in the Bundesliga table with a 2-1 win against Augsburg in their final game of the season.
The German has rejected the chance to play in Leipzig’s remaining Champions League fixtures this season, meaning he entered the game knowing it was his last for the club.
And Werner certainly didn’t disappoint, taking his goal tally to 95 in 159 matches with a special double.
The Evening Standard report that Werner needed just 30 minutes to break Daniel Frahn’s long-standing record, rounding Augsburg goslkeeper Tomas Koubek to strike home into an empty net.
Leipzig needed to match Borussia Monchengladbach’s win to secure a top-three finish, and Augsburg looked to spoil the party, with Ruben Vargas providing an equaliser.
Typically, it was Werner who settled the tie with 10 minutes remaining. The forward beat the offside trap before smashing home from a tight angle.
The offside flag did go up, but fortunately – both for Werner and Leipzig – the decision was overruled by VAR.
Leipzig took the three points and third place, while Werner cemented his position in club history.
Werner was immediately brought off, with his final involvement being that second goal.
