The questions directed at Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel before and after his side’s Champions League last-16 first-leg win over Lille centred around Romelu Lukaku.
After the 2-0 victory, where he had left his £97.5m summer signing as an unused substitute, Tuchel added it was “the moment to take a step back”.
In the match itself, it was the man who started up front in Lukaku’s place, Kai Havertz, who scored the opening goal and added to his growing reputation as Chelsea’s man for the big moments.
With the League Cup final against Liverpool next up on Sunday, is Havertz now Chelsea’s best option to lead the line at Wembley?
