Chelsea supporters loved how Romelu Lukaku shushed the Tottenham away fans after they were chanting about Inter Milan at Stamford Bridge.
The away supporters were chanting ‘He’s Inter Milan, he’s Inter Milan, Romelu Lukaku, he’s Inter Milan’ during the game.
Well, after Ben Davies and Japhet Tanganga combined to score a comical own goal in their EFL Cup semi-final first-leg clash, Lukaku shushed those in the away end.
The Belgian striker was the talk of the town heading into this game after a forthright interview he did with Sky Italia that landed him in hot water at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel dropped the player for his actions during their 2-2 draw against Liverpool on Sunday, but he returned to action last night.
He may not have got on the scoresheet, but he still played his part in his team now having one foot in the League Cup final.
Whilst those in the away end were bantering Lukaku for his previous Inter comments, they didn’t have much else to shout about last night.
Antonio Conte, who returned to Chelsea for the first time since winning the Premier League and FA Cup in their colours, watched his side have zero attempts at the opposition’s goal in the first half.
It will now take some comeback from Spurs and a slip-up from Chelsea for those in north London to turn this one around, even if they will have their home crowd on their side for the return leg.
Nonetheless, here is a selection of Chelsea fans reacting to Lukaku’s actions yesterday:
