Tough 45 Minutes For Arsenal’s Defence – Lukaku Too Hot
Powerful 45 Minutes For Arsenal’s Defence – Lukaku Too Scorching. A very tough opening 45 minutes for Arsenal’s defence; Romelu Lukaku actually has had them on strings. The Belgian striker, who’s making his second debut for Chelsea, wanted solely quarter-hour to make his mark.
He scored the Blues’ opener with a simple close-range end from Reece James, who then struck a second to complete a high quality transfer from Thomas Tuchel’s aspect.
Arsenal had shout for a penalty turned down after James collided with Bukayo Saka, however nothing was given and VAR upheld that call.
Chelsea now lead with 2 objectives at halftime.
Talking about Lukaku earlier than the sport, Tuchel stated:
“We signed him to play, we didn’t signal him to return off the bench. He educated quite a bit in Italy and he began individually when he got here to us and joined the group final weekend.”
