After 11 minutes, Tottenham scored three goals, including on-loan striker Werner’s first for the club, and Palace was utterly destroyed. The Champions League is now or never for Tottenham, and all of their hopes were dashed.

Werner had a drought of goals at Chelsea and Red Bull Leipzig, with just two in fourteen games, until the north London messiah Ange Postecoglou contacted him in January.

Werner had a golden opportunity in the first half to end his goal drought that began in the Bundesliga in October, but a Champions League medal is meaningless without the ability to score from a barn door.

Even Werner couldn’t miss a golden opportunity as Spurs finally found their groove after hearing Son’s native-language encouragement. The South Korean captain spent seven years in Germany with Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen.
At Amen Corner, on Sunday, Tottenham will face top-four rivals Aston Villa in a crucial encounter in their quest to regain gilded orbit. And their homage to that smash hit film about a runaway fish, Finding Timo, could be the secret to Champions League riches.

“Timo had a fantastic game and he helps a lot for the team,” Son said after Cristian Romero’s header and Werner’s first bullseye in English football since April 2022 sealed the victory.

When you’re an attacking player and you miss a great opportunity like that, you might feel a bit down. He showed a lot of promise when he scored the equalizer, so I just encouraged him to keep playing German.We need to be prepared for anything because the game at Villa is going to be massive. Their performance is outstanding, and they are clearly a formidable opponent. We have to prepare for the fights, but there’s a certain thrill to playing in a major game.

Feeling relieved, Werner exclaimed, “I’m very pleased, very happy because it was an important one – especially after the big first half chance.” He had just finished converting dynamic substitute Brennan Johnson’s cross-on-a-plate.

Since I’ve been here, the guys have made me feel right at home, so I haven’t felt any pressure to score my first goal. Their assistance has allowed me to fully concentrate on my football game, and now that I’ve scored my first goal, it’s even more satisfying.
