"Robert [Elstone, Everton's chief executive] was there, everything was in place, there were a few reporters outside, then in the meeting Rom called his mother.

"He said he was on a pilgrimage in Africa or somewhere and he had a voodoo and he got the message that he needs to go to Chelsea."

Lukaku was also said to have used vulgar words while insulting the Swede's mother on their way back to the dressing room for the half-time pep talk.

Meanwhile, Ibrahimovich could only last 13 minutes after resumption for a second bookable offence after tripping Inter defender Aleksandar Kolarov.
