The Chelsea striker has had a tough time getting among the goals in the Premier League, with the Blues splashing £97.5million on Romelu Lukaku this summer to replace him as their attacking focal point.

But Werner has not had the same problems for Germany.

The former RB Leipzig frontman netted in Thursday's win over Liechtenstein and was the Germans' main man here in Berlin.

Bayern Munich's Serge Gnabry delivered a testing cross into Armenia's penalty area.

Werner made a good run off his marker, before somehow flicking the ball in mid-air into the path of Marco Reus, and the Borussia Dortmund captain slammed Germany's third home.

The 25-year-old got a goal of his own just before the half-time whistle.

Werner latched onto a loose ball at the back post an tapped home Germany's fourth.

Gnabry bagged a brace, Jonas Hoffman got himself a goal, and Karim Adeyemi scored in added time as the Germans ran riot.

The win puts Germany top of Group J on 12 points, just two above Armenia with five games to go.

Hansi Flick's team will now travel to face Iceland on Wednesday.

A win keeps them very much in the hunt for finishing in the top spot.
