But on Tuesday against Estonia, he’s the man of the match so far thanks to a quick-fire brace in the first half.

It means Lukaku has seven goals in his last four games for Belgium and scored in his 15th straight qualifying match (a streak from almost six years ago).

He only had 14 goals for Inter in total last season.
