Romelu Lukaku’s first-half strike was enough to send Chelsea through to the Club World Cup final as they held on to beat Al Hilal 1-0 in Abu Dhabi.
Lukaku (32) put Chelsea in front at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium in Wednesday’s semi-final with a close-range effort after Kai Havertz’s cross bounced off a defender, falling nicely for the Belgium striker to end a run of five matches without a goal.
