LONDON (Reuters) - If justification were needed for Chelsea's decision to spend 97 million pounds to bring Romelu Lukaku back to Stamford Bridge, the Belgian provided it with a master striker's goal on Tuesday. With little over 20 minutes remaining Chelsea skipper Cesar Azpilicueta delivered a peach of a cross towards Lukaku and the Belgian speared his header past keeper Stanislav Kritsyuk. "It was an excellent header, a well-timed cross by Azpilicueta," said German Tuchel, who has transformed Chelsea since replacing Frank Lampard in January. Chelsea did not have a shot on target in the first half but picked up the pace after the break. I felt a huge intensity from us which we brought to the game," Tuchel said.
