UEFA remembered Inter striker Romelu Lukaku’s first goal in the Europa League in a post via their official Twitter account yesterday.
The video is from 2009, when the then 16-year-old Lukaku scored a brace against Ajax to help Belgian side Anderlecht qualify for the next stage of the tournament.
This season, the 26-year-old has been incredible for the Nerazzurri, scoring 23 goals and providing five assists in 35 appearances for the Milanese club. He has formed a formidable partnership with Lautaro Martinez.
