EPL: Lukaku Fire Chelsea To Top Of Table, Arsenal Sink Into Regelation Zone

Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku made a fantastic second debut on Sunday, as he assisted the Champions League winners to a 2-0 victory over Arsenal. 

Thomas Tuchel pushed the 28-year-old back into the starting XI at the Emirates after he returned to Stamford Bridge this week. 

Within 15 minutes, the £98 million record signing scored, knocking Reece James’ right-wing cross into an empty net.

James himself doubled Chelsea’s lead before the break, firing high into the net past Bernd Leno.

The Gunners tried to fight their way back into the game, but Mikel Arteta’s men barely threatened their London rivals, as they suffered their second consecutive defeat this season.

Meanwhile, Tuchel’s men have climbed to the top of the summit, ahead of next week’s trip to Liverpool.
