Chelsea legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's scathing Romelu Lukaku criticism proved spot on

It was another forgettable night at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea who went down 4-2 to London rivals Arsenal, consequently suffering their third straight home defeat. Although the loss will most likely prove ineffectual in terms of where Chelsea finishes this season, it was still a bitter pill for Blues fans to swallow.

Leading the inquiry immediately after the game was Chelsea legend Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink who was part of the Sky Sports punditry team. And he didn’t hold back in his criticism of not only Chelsea as a collective, but also key players within the side.

One of those singled out by Hasselbaink was Romelu Lukaku who had little to no impact in what was his first Premier League start in over two months. The 28-year-old was of course signed for a mammoth £97.5million last summer and expected to take Chelsea to a new level following a scintillating two years with Inter Milan in which he bagged 64 goals in 95 appearances.
