The staging of the Belgian Romelu Lukaku as a great reinforcement was decisive for Chelsea to achieve victory in the Emirates London derby against Arsenal (2-0), which assumed its inferiority unable to question the victory of its adversary.
Lukaku, a great acquisition of the European champion, made his debut in the Premier. An injury left him out in the match against Crystal Palace. Thomas Tuchel placed him at the start and it took him a quarter of an hour to score and unbalance the local duel. The Belgian scored in the 15th minute. He pushed a good pass from the right from Reece James into the net, who later, in the 35th minute, made the second when he took advantage of a ball sent by Mason Mount.
Arsenal hope that the addition of the Norwegian Martin Odegaard will provide a quality leap and take advantage of their resources. Without the Scandinavian, presented before the Emirates public before the start of the game, it was a team without solutions.
Mikel Arteta could not find a way to stop Chelsea that works like a machine, prints a high rhythm to the game and triggers the demand on the rival. The Gunners who turned to Nuno Tavares and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang to unsettle the blues have no goal, there was no way.
Lukaku was able to expand his income and that of Chelsea but found Bernd Leno and wood. The victory takes Thomas Tuchel’s team to the top of the standings, with five goals scored and none in two games, conceded like Liverpool.
