Obviously, this must be some kind of tactical arrangement!
As expected, three seconds later, Su Luo made a passing motion.
This time, Su Luo chose to pass the ball to the far post.
The reason was simple—there was the "little monster," Lukaku, waiting at the back post.
I have to say, Su Luo's passing ability is truly remarkable.
In the blink of an eye, the football arced perfectly towards Lukaku.
A flawless pass!
At that moment, Lukaku's decision-making became critical.
He directly overpowered two Southampton center-backs, Wesley Wright and Maya Yoshida, and executed a powerful header.
The ball traveled at an incredible speed.
Additionally, Lukaku's header was so close to the goal that even Southampton's goalkeeper, Foster, could do nothing to stop it, no matter how agile he was.
And just like that...
The football found its way into the top corner of the goal.
At this moment, despite Southampton's defenders putting in their best effort, they could do little to stop Lukaku.
The quality of his header was simply outstanding, leaving no time for the goalkeeper to react.
The score was successfully rewritten:
2–1.
Chelsea, playing at home, regained the lead.
At that moment, Stamford Bridge erupted into chaos.
The entire Chelsea fanbase went wild as tens of thousands of fans celebrated with uncontainable excitement, eagerly anticipating the rest of the game.
"This was a pass from Su Luo—a perfect pass! The football landed precisely on Lukaku's head!"
"And Lukaku's header was just as spectacular, leaving the defenders no chance to intervene!"
"If Chelsea continues to attack with this momentum, tonight's game could end in a convincing victory!"
The commentator Zhan Jun, with his sharp analysis, observed that Southampton's defense was visibly struggling to cope with Chelsea's relentless offense.
At this critical juncture, Southampton needed adjustments.
As the head coach, Pellegrino's expression betrayed his frustration.
To be honest, Pellegrino never imagined his team would concede two quick goals in such a short span of time.
It completely disrupted Southampton's game plan.
But regardless of his frustration, the match had to go on.
Pellegrino quickly stepped to the sideline, urging his players to adopt a more aggressive attacking approach.
With Chelsea now leading, Southampton's players had no choice but to go all out in attack.
Soon after, Southampton began to show some positivity.
In midfield, it was still Romeu orchestrating the play.
Romeu, much like Cesc Fabregas, is the heart of the team's offensive strategies.
This time, after receiving the ball, Romeu prepared to pass, scanning for an open route.
However, he struggled to find a good passing option.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Romeu ultimately decided to pass the ball to Cedric Suarez on the wing.
