Following the game, ESPN pundit Craig Burley hit out at the Belgian, pointing to his poor movement as the reason behind his isolation.

Craig Burley insisted that it was nobody’s fault that Romelu Lukaku struggled to get the ball during the game. The Englishman added that the striker needs to start moving backwards to connect with his teammates.

He continued:

Romelu Lukaku’s stats for Chelsea so far this season

The Belgian has had a mixed start to life since sealing a big-money transfer to Stamford Bridge last summer. So far this season, he’s made 28 appearances for the Blues across all competitions, recording ten goals and three assists to his name.

The striker has, however, struggled to impress in the Premier League in recent weeks, failing to find the back of the net in his last four games in the division. It remains to be seen if he’ll bounce back in the coming weeks.
