The Slavia Prague ace needed only seven minutes after the kick-off to open the scoring, with Romelu Lukaku fluffing two goalscoring opportunities moments earlier.

The Chelsea striker was somehow unlucky not to get the job done in the second half, with his goal moments after the break ruled out for offside.

The BBC reports that Lukaku scored another goal deep in the second half, but VAR chalked it off following a handball in the buildup.
