Lukaku was the better signing for Chelsea than Haaland.

Romelu Lukaku is really determined to eclipse the memories of Drogba and Costa by scoring every little chance he gets. And what's more, he's one of us. Good times, you Blues! Good times. ?

"If there was ever going to be a player to help Chelsea get over the line tonight, then it was Lukaku. He wants to be the main-man of Chelsea, he wants to be the focal point of this team. And when an opportunity comes, he's just so clinical" – Rio Ferdinand pic.twitter.com/kROKrtT06W

If this game was last season, Chelsea are without doubt drawing this game 0-0.

And that, is why Chelsea paid 97.5 million for Romelu Lukaku.

1 chance. 1 goal. World Class. pic.twitter.com/VVmlN5cJAC

That’s what Lukaku maybe most importantly brings, goals when you’ve struggled.

What a player Lukaku is. He is turning draws or losses into wins. I was just about to write how stifled Chelsea were creatively.

He's quiet, suffocated by Zenit's system but found his time to pounce. #CFC #UCL

Lukaku proving, once again, that a forward who is genuinely undeniable with good service is still the most valuable type of footballer #CFC

I guess getting the win was the most important thing regardless of the performance. The great thing for me is that we have a match winner in Romelu Lukaku & only needs 1 chance to score a winner.
