Ian Wright and Roy Keane disagree on damning Romelu Lukaku moment as Thomas Tuchel proven right

Ian Wright and Roy Keane have thrown their hats in the ring after Romelu Lukaku missed a guilt-edged opportunity in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace. The 28-year-old striker was omitted from the Blues' starting XI but came off the bench with less than quarter of an hour to play.

Thomas Tuchel's decision to leave the Belgium international out of the side was proven right in spectacular fashion as Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Timo Werner united to waltz past Patrick Vieira's side. The trio were heavily involved in Chelsea's goals that booked a place in the FA Cup final against Liverpool on May 14.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek fired the west Londoners ahead just after the hour mark before Mount then doubled the Blues' lead 11 minutes later, scoring in three successive games for the first time in his career. As the latter's goal flew in, Lukaku readied himself to be introduced to the game.
