Lukaku’s message to TV camera when he scored: Lukaku scored his 15th goal for Chelsea in all competitions on Wednesday. The Belgian was recalled to the starting XI at the weekend, and he made the most of his chance with a swift double against Wolves.
The 28-year-old, who has been frequently chastised since re-joining Chelsea last summer, is now resuming the form he showed when he first returned to Stamford Bridge. His effort versus Leeds was outstanding. He appeared eager and intent on scoring.
Lukaku’s message to TV camera when he scored
It took a while, but he finally found the back of the net at Elland Road, and he seemed ecstatic when he did. Lukaku has staked a strong claim to start the FA Cup final against Liverpool on Saturday.
Lukaku approached the Sky Sports TV camera after scoring against Leeds with a clear message. He appeared to say the two words “I’m back!”. Yes, Romelu, you are.
Mason Mount set a new record
Mount was amazing against Leeds. Chelsea’s top player has continued to shine this season, putting up one of his best performances when the Blues needed him most.
His goal was fantastic. Mount hammered the ball into the top corner after some brilliant link-up play with Reece James, giving Illan Meslier little chance in the Leeds goal.
Mount did not score again, but he did continue to contribute.
Mount’s assist makes him the first Chelsea player in Premier League history to have double-digit goals and assists in the same season. Mount, who is 23 years old, beats Juan Mata’s previous record of 25 years.
