I had my doubts before the match kick-off whistle was blown for the match between Arsenal and Chelsea and my concern was Chelsea could come up short. Chelsea convinced me in just 15 mins and cleared all doubt as Lukaku marks his second debut with a well-taken goal which shows that he could be explosive if he wants to.

I have always been a fan of Lukaku because he always gives you the goals and his records of goals scored is evident at almost every club he has played for aside from Chelsea. Now is the time to set the record straight at Chelsea and write his name in gold at Chelsea. He should have scored more than just one goal in the match against the gunners but leno super saves kept it out.

Since his contract as a gunners coach, Arteta has never lost to Chelsea and this was his first and that piles more pressure on the already under-pressure coach. The 2-0 scoreline didn’t paint the whole picture of the match as the gunners deserve to lose with a much bigger margin but Chelsea wastefulness and Leno masterpiece kept the scoreline respectable.

Tuchel including Lukaku in the starting lineup might have come as a surprise to everyone but the coach was sure that about how he wanted to use the big man. During his recent interview before the game, he said the only problem he is facing is finding the right player to play with Lukaku up front. Lukaku repaid the coach faith with a goal and sends a message to the league in the process.

The man he displaced upfront in the person of Werner started from the bench and although the time he was given to impress was very little, he will surely be looking forward to learning from Lukaku. Werner confidence level at Chelsea has been below standard and Lukaku presence might help take some responsibilities of him which will afford him the needed space to thrive as the lofty expectations on him as been shifted to another.

Chelsea next match is against Liverpool who has a stronger and compact defence setup unlike that of Arsenal and everyone will be looking out for what Lukaku would do. One of the people will surely be Werner as he hopes to be clinical like the big man up front. A tougher test awaits but for now, Werner could keep learning from Big Luk in the training session to take his game to the next level.
