Romelu Lukaku had his third goal of Euro 2024 chalked off in Belgium’s much-needed 2-0 win over Romania at RheinEnergieStadion.
The Red Devils ran out narrow winners on Saturday evening thanks to a wonderful goal from Youri Tielemans inside 73 seconds of kick off and an 80th minute strike from Kevin De Bruyne.
Remarkably, Tielemands’ goal was Belgium’s first in five hours of tournament football across Euro 2024 and the World Cup in 2022 – they scored just one goal in Qatar and were embarrassingly knocked out in the group stages.
Belgium have perhaps been a bit unfortunate to have not scored a few more goals at Euro 2024 thus far however, with Lukaku having three ruled out in the first two games of the tournament.
The Chelsea-owned forward had goals ruled out for offside and a controversial hand ball during Belgium’s shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Slovakia during matchday one in Group E.
And rather incredibly, Lukaku saw yet another goal be ruled out by a VAR check in matchday two as well, with the towering forward being adjudged to have been narrowly offside before he side-footed beautifully into the bottom left corner of the net.
