Chelsea defeated Arsenal 2-0 in the second round of the Premier League season in 2021-22 at the Emirates Stadium in London, England on the 23rd at 0:30 am (Korean time). As a result, he sprinted for two consecutive wins in the opening season, ranking first in the rankings, and also succeeded in breaking out of the swamp of draws (1 draw and 3 losses) in the recent match against Arsenal. And at the center of it was Lukaku, who returned to Chelsea and played an active part even before his return.
This was Lukaku’s first match after returning to Chelsea after seven years. It has been less than a week since the transfer, so the expectation was that it would be difficult to expect a big performance, but he boasted the class of a world-class striker without regret. He took the lead in the opposing defense and competitive fights, centered on the attack, and slowly created opportunities through cooperative play.

In the end, the opening goal came from Lukaku’s toes. Lukaku saved the ball in the 15th minute and gave it to Kovacic, who passed to James. James put a ground cross in front of the goal, and Lukaku, who was rushing in from behind, lightly pushed it in. He also scored his first career goal for Chelsea. Football statistics media Opta explained, “Lukaku scored his first goal in his 16th game, 9 years and 360 days since his debut at Chelsea in August 2011.” Some fans thought that Lukaku had scored for Chelsea in the past, but that was not the case.
In fact, since joining Chelsea in 2011, Lukaku only played 15 games for the first team, scoring no goals and only providing one assist. At the time, he had high expectations because his physique and playstyle were similar to those of Drogba. As a result, there was virtually no chance to score a goal.
