The Chelsea players quickly went to the Belgian international to celebrate and check that he had not been injured during the process.
The celebration has sparked widespread reaction on social media, including Chelsea legend Didier Drogba, who commented on an Instagram post about Lukaku’s goal and said, “Hi Dr. David. Can you put on new knees?

The day after the match, Lukaku tweeted: “I’m no longer slipping on my knees after yesterday’s celebration …”
In the second half, the Belgian international finished with an excellent performance with an impressive second goal in the last minutes of the match when he threw the ball to the top corner from the edge of the area.
This perfectly completed the day for Lukaku, who helped Chelsea take first place in the Premier League with Manchester United, the title rivals.
After the match, Lukaku said: “It was my dream since I was 11 to score here. I have worked hard for that moment.
“I was up and down at the beginning of my career, but I’ve found some consistency in the last three years. In Italy, I played in a league where I might have had one or two chances in a game, so I had to take them. ”.
