Belgium 5-2 Tunisia: 5 Talking Points, World Cup 2018

#4 Romelu Lukaku gets another brace

Another delightful dink from Lukaku!

Romelu Lukaku is having a sensational time in Russia. After scoring twice against Panama in the opener, the big brawny Belgian was at it again.

He doubled his goal tally in the competition and moved level with the inimitable Cristiano Ronaldo on 4 goals each in the competition.

The Manchester United man is one of the most talked about strikers in world football at the moment. Unfortunately for him though, he tends to split opinions. While he is undeniably a threat in front of goal and tends to score truckloads of goals, the finer arts of subtlety seem to elude the big brawny Belgian.

He has often been ridiculed for his lack of control with his first touch, something vital in the armoury of the modern-day striker, who is the focal point of a lot of the link-up play. As a result, he also fails to retain the ball - to release the pressure of his teammates - when the long ball is punted toward him.

No matter what opinion you chose to hold of him, you cannot deny that he does get the job done, irrespective of the unaesthetic methods he employs to do so.

On the night, he did the job twice, once through a vintage powerful strike from the edge of the box, and then through a delicate chip over the keeper after being played in by Munier. A little something for the critics who doubted whether he possesses the deftness of touch to play for a top-quality side.
