Romelu Lukaku came on to score his first Premier League goal since September to keep Chelsea in the title race as the European champions came from behind to beat Aston Villa 3-1.

Chelsea’s Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku heads past Aston Villa’s English defender Tyrone Mings for Chelsea’s second goal during the English Premier League football match between Aston Villa and Chelsea at Villa Park in Birmingham, central England on December 26, 2021.

But he made his return off the bench at the break and made an almost instant impact to head home Callum Hudson Odoi’s cross. Villa’s own Covid outbreak saw manager Steven Gerrard forced into isolation after he tested positive on Christmas Day. However, the lead lasted just six minutes due to Matty Cash’s rash challenge on Hudson-Odoi inside the area.

He is still yet to start in the Premier League since suffering an ankle injury in October, with his positive test for Covid coming just as he was returning to full fitness.
