Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku was the star of the show over the weekend after the Belgian scoring two goals and setting up one in the Nerazzurri’s 3-1 victory over Lazio.

Lukaku scored a penalty in the 22nd minute and hit the net again in the 45th minute but it was the lead up to the third goal that caught some people’s attention more.

The Belgian international is known for his strength but he produced a turn of pace in the 64th minute that had people gasping for air.

The 27-year-old picked the ball up on the right and ran at the Lazio defence with some awesome pace and his trademark power.

The Lazio defenders could do nothing but try and close Lukaku down but by the time the Belgian had gotten into the box he had squared the ball for Martinez who tapped in from close range.

Lukaku hit a personal milestone in the game as he scored his 299th and 300th career goals for both club and country, a remarkable record for a man who is just 27-years-old.
