When Romelu Lukaku makes his Premier League debut for a club, the Belgian striker delivers the goods.
On Sunday, Lukaku tallied a brace in Manchester United's 4-0 victory against West Ham United at Old Trafford. He opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, whacking the ball off the post and into the back of the net after a 40-yard run by Marcus Rashford. The 24-year-old then scored again in the 53rd minute, flicking a free-kick from Henrikh Mkhitaryan past Joe Hart with a header.

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.
