Thomas Tuchel's decision to bench Romelu Lukaku and start Kai Havertz in his place in Chelsea's Champions League clash vs Lille was perhaps vindicated in the first half.
The Blues came into this first leg at Stamford Bridge on the back of a fortuitous 1-0 victory away to Crystal Palace at the weekend with the main talking point being Lukaku's mere seven touches over the 90 minutes.
His ineffectiveness in that contest cost him his position in Tuesday night's starting eleven as the German decided to opt for Kai Havertz in the false nine position.
