Chelsea youngster Isaiah Brown has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to Everton striker Romelu Lukaku’s performance at the European Championship in France on Saturday evening.
Lukaku scored twice, as Belgium won 3-0 against the Republic of Ireland in the Euro 2016 Group E match at Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux in Bordeaux.
The former Chelsea striker scored his first goal of the game just three minutes into the second half. The 23-year-old netted his second and Belgium’s third 20 minutes before full time.
Brown, who is just 19 years of age and can play as a forward or as a winger, was following the match, and he was impressed with the performance of Lukaku.
The England Under-19 international, who started his career at West Bromwich before moving to Chelsea in the summer of 2013, was not alone in appreciating the former Anderlecht striker.
Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie was also following the match, and he was pleased to see Lukaku prove his doubters wrong by scoring twice against the Republic of Ireland.
