Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku shoots at goal

Can you name Chelsea’s XI from Romelu Lukaku’s debut in 2011?

Romelu Lukaku is now something of a pariah at Chelsea, but that’s not always been the case. The Blues signed the Belgian on August 18 2011, and he made his debut against Norwich in the Premier League nine days later. How well do you remember it?

With Andre Villas-Boas as manager, Chelsea stumped up £18million for a teenage Lukaku and he got his first appearance off the bench in their third game of the 2011-12 season.

Chelsea beat Norwich 3-1 and another sub and debutant, Juan Mata, got the clincher late on.

That stint at Chelsea would not work out for Lukaku, with several more established players ahead of him in the attacking pecking order. His second spell has somehow been even worse.

Here, though, we want you to cast your mind back to August 2011 to name the starting XI Villas-Boas chose for Lukaku’s first Chelsea debut.
