Lukaku buried captain Cesar Azpilicueta’s
hanging far-post cross with an inch-perfect header to dig Chelsea out of a
tough encounter and secure a vital Stamford Bridge victory.
The Blues started their Champions League
defence with a slender Group H victory that owed everything to Lukaku turning
home his sole sniff on goal.
The Belgian gave the blues the winning goal in
their crunch tie against Zenith Saint-Petersburg on Tuesday at Stamford Bridge.
“He was the type of guy we were missing,” said
Tuchel. “It is super hard and super important. You don’t find many strikers of
that quality.
“The guys who are there to score regularly for
their teams are so important because one goal changes the whole momentum of the
match.
“The performance for Romelu was not easy. We
did not create many chances for him, but he does not lose confidence and
belief. That’s why he’s here and why he’s a world class striker.”
The blues are second in their Champions League
group (H) behind Juventus who defeated Malmoe 3-0.
