‘It’s a relief,’ Lukaku said about getting his first goals at the Bridge. ‘It was my dream, since I was 11 I have waited for this moment and worked hard for this moment.

‘But I am very happy with the win, it was an important game for us. It was about focus and motivation and we showed the will to win from the first minute so I’m very happy with the result. It was great to score, as I said this was a childhood dream for me and I’m very happy to be in this situation, but I want us to win.’

Lukaku also praised manager Thomas Tuchel for the pre-match tactics and Kovacic for the assist that led to his first goal at Stamford Bridge.

He said, ‘It was something that the coach said before the game, he wanted us to play forward as soon as we got the ball. Kova saw my run and it was a brilliant ball and the rest was just instinct.

‘It was something the coach was saying before the game, that when we recovered the ball he wanted us to play forward very quickly and Kova, with his quality, I wasn’t doubting him. I made the run, he saw it and it was a brilliant pass, the rest was just instinct.

‘I played with Tuanzebe back in the day, he knows I’m left-footed, so I felt like maybe he wouldn’t be expecting it.’
