Romelu Lukaku’s goal has given his club a lift to the club world cup final as Chelsea beat Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal 1-0 on Wednesday. The blues will now play South American champions Palmeiras in the club world cup final on Saturday.
The Belgium international swept in from close range on 33 minutes after a defensive lapse to send Chelsea through to Saturday’s final, the second in three years between English and Brazilian teams. This means Chelsea can now join Manchester United and Liverpool as the third English side to win the Club World Cup, having finished as runners-up to Corinthians on their first appearance since 2012.
