Rejoice, Manchester United fans: Romelu Lukaku has rediscovered his goal-scoring touch.
Leading the line for Belgium in their friendly with Mexico, the 24-year-old scored twice in a game that finished 3-3.
His first goal came after 55-minutes, when his attempt to control a cross saw the ball skid off his knee and into the corner of the Mexican goal.

Yes, it was slightly fortuitous, and the kind of finish that those that constantly try and promote the idea that he has a poor first touch lapped up.

You get the idea.
Mexico equalised a minute later to make the score 2-2. They then went ahead four minutes after this, only for Lukaku to add his second and the final goal of the game with 20 minutes left.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, this goal wasn't as widely shared across social media.
Lukaku and his international teammates face a game against Japan on Tuesday night before he returns to Manchester the next day.
