The Belgian has returned to Stamford Bridge for a club record £97 million as the missing piece of a proven goalscorer to turn the Champions League winners into English champions.
Chelsea found their rhythm early and began to play to Lukaku’s strengths. The former Inter striker tapped home his 114th EPL goal for four different clubs. Arsenal did not learn their lesson as Mason Mount picked out his England teammate 10 minutes before half-time and Reece James thrashed a brilliant finish past Bernd Leno.
