Belgian international Lukaku, 24, had the ball laid off to him by Alexis Sanchez before seeing his strike deflect off of Alfie Mawson and into the top corner.

And Lukaku has now joined the 100 club after 216 appearances for West Brom, Everton and Manchester United.

The former Chelsea youth player never scored in the top flight for Chelsea in his first two season between 2011 and 2013.

But he got off the mark the next campaign while on loan at the Hawthorns where he netted 17 times in 35 appearances.
