Romelu Lukaku's outrageous assist against England on Tuesday has seen Chelsea fans call for the Belgian to be given another chance at Stamford Bridge.

The 30-year-old striker is the forgotten man at Chelsea where he has been shipped out on loan to Italy, but reminded fans of his star quality against England at Wembley.

Lukaku is more renowned for his goalscoring abilities than his chance creation, but showcased the lesser-seen part of his game to help re-establish Belgium's lead.

The visitors had initially taken the advantage through Youri Tielemans before Ivan Toney fired England back on level terms from the penalty spot. 

England were showing confident signs of forcing a second goal when Lukaku outmuscled Brighton centre-back Lewis Dunk and assisting Tielemans with a pinpoint cross.
