Timo Werner will leave Chelsea – Cascarino

Former Chelsea striker, Tony Cascarino has insisted that the German striker would leave the club soon. According to him, the club’s board is already running out of patience for the striker who now needs to save his Blues career. Cascarino was reacting to Werner’s latest struggles in the recent draw with Premier League rivals, Manchester United. Werner moved to Chelsea in a £47.5m deal from RB Leipzig in 2020 with expectations high but wayward finishing has been a common theme in his Chelsea career to date. Cascarino described the German as a ‘problem’ for Chelsea and has tipped his former club to replace him. “Chelsea should have put Manchester United away but they have a problem in Timo Werner, whose touch just isn’t top level, and whose finishing is worse,” Cascarino tol...

Leaders Chelsea too strong for Leicester

Chelsea produced a dominant performance in winning 3-0 at Leicester to move six points clear at the top of the table upon the final whistle. First-half goals from Antonio Rudiger and N'Golo Kante put Thomas Tuchel's team in control inside the opening half an hour and there was no way back for an out-of-sorts Leicester. Any hope of a comeback was extinguished when substitute Christian Pulisic made it three on 71 minutes with the only disappointment for Chelsea being an injury to Jorginho. The result takes Chelsea to 29 points from their 12 games, while Brendan Rodgers' side are languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

Lewandowski scores twice as Bayern Munich thrash Barcelona again

Bayern Munich gave Barcelona a brutal demonstration of how far the Catalan club has fallen by strolling to a 3-0 win in the Champions League on Tuesday, with Robert Lewandowski scoring twice in a rout at Camp Nou. Without Lionel Messi for a first European campaign since 2003, Barca were outplayed by Bayern, who might have scored more but in the end settled for three thanks to Thomas Mueller’s deflected opener and Lewandowski’s double. When Lewandowski made it two before the hour, the possibility of another humiliation in the mould of last year’s 8-2 defeat by the same opponents in Lisbon felt very real. Instead, Bayern delivered perhaps an even louder message about the gulf in class by easing off in the latter stages, as Barca’s fans expressed their anger, dismay and final...
