Revealed: Why frustrated Lukaku shouted at Pulisic during Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Crystal Palace
The Blues managed to beat Crystal Palace 1-0 on Saturday thanks to an 89th minute goal by Hakim Ziyech.
However, during the game against Crystal Palace, Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku was seen venting his anger on Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic.
Following the match, explaining the incident between Lukaku and Pulisic, Football London wrote: “Early in the second period, rather than take the option to play Romelu Lukaku through the inside, Pulisic opted to slow the play and head around the outside and as the play broke down for the Blues, Lukaku was quick to show how unhappy he was.
“It’s perhaps unsurprising the Belgian was quick to show his anger given how few and far between his opportunities were. Chelsea only recorded three shots on target in total, while Lukaku barely touched the ball.”
Meanwhile, Lukaku had just seven touches of the ball despite playing 90 minutes against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Lastly, Chelsea will be back to action on Tuesday to face Lille in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
