Lukaku gives heartwarming explanation behind his goal celebration

At the age of 25, Romelu Lukaku already tops the list of all-time top scorers for Belgium with 43 goals in 77 appearances.

The Manchester United centre-forward scored a brace in Belgium’s 3-0 UEFA Nations League win over Iceland on Tuesday night, following on from his opener against Scotland a few days earlier.

Lukaku still gets criticism for his all-round game, particularly when he plays against tougher opponents, but he’s still young and holds very impressive records. And he has explained the meaning of his goal celebration this week.
