Alan Shearer praised Timo Werner (Picture: BBC Sport)Alan Shearer and Ashley Cole hailed the performance of Timo Werner in Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals. The Germany international caused City problems throughout with his runs in behind and he laid on an assist for match-winner Hakim Ziyech in the second half. Werner has come under fire for his struggles in front of goal in his first season in English football but former Newcastle striker Shearer was hugely impressed by his efforts. ‘It was a brilliant run from Werner and Ziyech just has to put it in the back of the net,’ Shearer told the BBC. ‘That caused Manchester City problems all day, to be honest.’Follow Metro Sport across our social channels, on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
