Chelsea may have dominated England last season, but things aren’t going so well this time around.
The arrival of Guus Hidink as interim coach steadied the ship somewhat for the defending Premier League champions, but they came unstuck against Everton in the FA Cup as Romelu Lukaku rampaged through a porous Blues defence.
The former Chelsea striker picked up the ball at the edge of the area, with a wall of opposing players standing between him and the goal.
But the Belgian remained calm, and used his immense strength to power through and break the deadlock in the 77th minute.

Just four minutes later, Lukaku made it 2-0 with another calm finish.
Second goal for @RomeluLukaku9! Can @ChelseaFC still come back? #FACup https://t.co/qeBsM5grnR
