Romelu Lukaku continued his fantastic start to his second spell at Chelsea by scoring another two goals against Aston Villa in his side’s 3-0 win at him on Saturday.
The Belgian didn’t score in his first 15 games in his first stint at Stamford Bridge, but has already notched three in three Premier League games so far on his return.
Saul niguez also made his debut for the London side after moving from Atletico Madrid as they moved on to 10 points and are now joint top of the table with Manchester United.
Mateo Kovacic was a standout for Thomas Tuchel‘s side after Cesar Azpilicueta, Jorginho and Mason Mount were all rested, and played the ball to Lukaku who went around Axel Tuanzebe before slotting home.
Kovacic then doubled their lead after pouncing on an under-hit back pass from Tyrone Mings, which he put into the bottom left corner.
Lukaku grabbed his second of the day after getting on the end of an Azpilicueta pass from the right flank which he put into the net from outside the area.
