The Hornets winger is on loan at Fortuna Dusseldorf and helped his side beat the Bundesliga leaders. Here’s how some fans reacted.
Dodi Lukebakio has not really made much of an impact at parent club Watford, but he is certainly making a name for himself on loan at Fortuna Dusseldorf.
The 21-year-old Belgian joined the Hornets from Anderlecht in January this year but only made one 15-minute appearance for the club last season (Transfermarkt).
Lukebakio, whose contract runs to 2022, according to Transfermarkt, was sent on loan to the Bundesliga side ahead of the start of the 2018/19 campaign, as per the official Watford site.
At present, the winger’s goal tally stands at an impressive 11 goals from just 16 appearances, including a superb hat-trick against Bayern Munich.
Now, Lukebakio has delivered once again by scoring the opener in Tuesday night’s 2-1 home win over current Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund.
His latest display has prompted some Watford fans to urge the club to recall him as soon as possible and spearhead their own front line:
Watford ended a poor run last weekend with a 3-2 win over Cardiff and have scored six goals in their last three games, so they seem to be on the up.
Nonetheless, the knowledge of having a player on your club’s books making waves against two of the biggest teams in European football is certainly one which creates excitement.
