TOTTENHAM striker Timo Werner was spotted watching Sheffield Wednesday vs Plymouth Argyle at Hillsborough on Sunday.

The 28-year-old was seen in the crowd as the hosts cruised to a 4-0 win over Wayne Rooney’s new side.

Many fans were left baffled as to why he travelled nearly 200 miles out of London to watch the Championship clash.

But he was actually there to support Danny Rohl and Sascha Lense, the club’s performance manager.

Lense followed Rohl to Sheffield Wednesday last season following spells with Shalke, RB Leipzig and Manchester United.

He is the father-in-law of Germany international Werner, who has been with Paula Lense for nine years.

Werner proved to be a lucky charm as the Owls stormed to a 4-0 win and topped the Championship table on the opening weekend.

Plymouth manager Rooney was left “disappointed” and “angry” at full-time following his first game in charge.

He said: “The scoreline was deserved. From my point of view the really disappointing thing was the basics of the game, winning duels and stopping crosses.

“We conceded four goals from four crosses. The basics of the game were not there.

“The really disappointing thing for me is as a team we didn’t play with the confidence we’ve shown in the last few weeks.

“We didn’t take the ball well enough or handle the crowd early enough.

“We allowed them to get a foothold in the game, and we let it run out and conceded two more goals.

“I’m disappointed and angry, because that’s not the performance I wanted to see. We spoke about their threats from crosses.

“We spoke about Barry Bannan and we let him run the game and didn’t get close enough to him. That wasn’t acceptable.

“The players have to earn the right to play. You can lose football games, that happens, but there’s a way you want to see your players run, work and tackle.

“We’ve had a lot of fans come a long way, and the perfomance we’ve given wasn’t good enough.

“We have to make sure that doesn’t happen again.”
