Belgian footballer, Romelu Lukaku’s 15th goal of the season on Wednesday saw off Luton’s spirited challenge and booked Chelsea in the last eight of the FA Cup, with a 3-2 fifth-round victory at Kenilworth Road.
Chelsea weathered a tumultuous evening off the pitch and an early Luton onslaught and twice came from behind.
Roman Abramovich confirmed his intention to sell Chelsea an hour before kick-off, amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the seismic news unsettled Thomas Tuchel’s side, who were behind after 102 seconds as Reece Burke’s glancing header gave Luton the dream start.
Chelsea settled as the half progressed and deservedly drew level when Saul Niguez curled home a fine equaliser (27), but back roared Luton as Harry Cornick rounded off a brilliant team goal to restore the hosts’ lead five minutes before the break.
Tuchel sent his Chelsea players out for the second half early and, with instructions clearly still ringing in their ears, they responded as Timo Werner leveled the tie for the second time (68) before Romelu Lukaku’s 15th goal of the season (78) finally saw off Luton’s spirited challenge and booked a place in the last eight.
Chelsea’s extra power and nous eventually applied enough of a squeeze to subdue the Hatters and secure their passage through to round six, where the Blues will have their eyes on domestic cup success of a different kind after Sunday’s Carabao Cup final defeat against Liverpool.
Luton open the scoring vs. world champions Chelsea!
