Lukaku scored in his first match back at Chelsea to set the Blues on their way to a 2-0 win at Arsenal as he dominated the Gunners' defenders throughout the 90 minutes.
Lukaku's goal was his 114th in the Premier League, making him the competition's 20th highest scoring player, although he had not scored any of his other goals for Chelsea during his first period at the club that ended seven years ago. Tuchel hailed the Belgian's power and ability to hold the ball up under pressure and get team mates involved in attacks.
"I certainly think that nobody likes to play against him," the coach said."I think his profile gives us something that we did not have so much." Lukaku's track record in England and Italy plus his determination to succeed at the club he supported as a boy meant he represented the complete package for Chelsea, Tuchel said.The 28-year-old's experience would also help younger players in at the club, he said.
