In 2012-13, Lukaku, on loan from Chelsea, tallied West Bromwich Albion's third goal in a 3-0 victory over Liverpool. In 2013-14, the product of RSC Anderlecht, once again on loan, scored two goals on his Premier League debut for Everton as the Toffees emerged with a 3-2 triumph at home to Newcastle United.
Only at Chelsea did Lukaku go without a goal on his Premier League debut for a club.
