Goals in each half from Romelu Lukaku powered Chelsea to an emphatic 3-0 win over Aston Villa in their Premier League clash on Saturday. Lukaku’s goals came on either side of a Mateo Kovacic goal as Thomas Tuchel’s men comfortably secured all three points.
Although Lukaku gave Chelsea the lead as early as the 15th minute, the first half was dominated largely by the visitors.
Villa maintained constant pressure despite conceding early on and could consider themselves unlucky not to be on level terms at half-time.However, the visitors’ hopes of a second-half comeback took a hit when Kovacic bagged Chelsea’s second in the 49th minute. To their credit, Villa did not throw in the towel until the end but were unable to breach Chelsea’s miserly defense. Ultimately, it was Chelsea who found the net again, Lukaku rounding off the win with his second goal well into stoppage time.
On that note, here are five major talking points from an exciting game at Stamford Bridge.
