Football News : Lukaku ends drought to send Chelsea to Club World Cup final

Chelsea will face Palmeiras in the final of the Club World Cup after the European champions beat Al Hilal 1-0 in the tournament's second semi-final on Wednesday - Romelu Lukaku scoring the only goal of the game. The Belgium international pounced on a mistake from Al Hilal defender Yasser Al Shahrani to put the 'Blues' ahead in the 32nd minute. Chelsea had plenty of chances to double their lead before Al Hilal's Mohamed Kanno forced goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga into a fine reaction save midway through the second half. South American champions Palmeiras booked their place in Saturday's final with a 2-0 win over Al Ahly on Tuesday.
