Thomas Tuchel hopes that Romelu Lukaku's brace against Wolves can spark the confidence required for the Belgian striker to build upon his peformance for Chelsea.
Lukaku is Chelsea's top scorer this season but with just 14 goals has not set Stamford Bridge alight like many expected when he completed his £97.5 million transfer in August. Until his penalty against Wolves, the former Man United forward had not scored a Premier League goal in 2022.
That was in part down to Kai Havertz securing a starting role, leading the forward line but there was little question that Chelsea played better with the Germany international rather than his teammate. The immediacy and quality of Lukaku's second strike against Jose Sa, seemed to suggest a change in gear for the 28-year-old's form, however, while Tuchel perhaps hinted another start could be in store. Could now be the moment for Lukaku to find his quality?
