LUKAKU RAN THEM RAGGE RAGGED

- CHRIS SUTTON

ROMELU Lukaku had the Brazilians running scared last night. They just could not handle the driving runs he made into the right channel whenever Belgium broke. That pitted him against Marcelo and Lukaku bullied the Real Madrid left back all evening. These were back-to-basics tactics from Roberto Martinez but they worked superbly. The striker was unplayable at times and his surging run through midfield set up Kevin De Bruyne’s sensationa­l second goal. At his best, Lukaku is a monster. I want to see this side of his game more often — starting with the semi-final against France.
