'Rest easy brother. This is a hard one to take': Romelu Lukaku dedicates Inter Milan penalty against Udinese to former Everton team-mate Christian Atsu, after his tragic death in Turkey earthquake

Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring for Inter Milan on Saturday night - and dedicated the penalty to his former teammate Christian Atsu.

Earlier on Saturday, representatives for Atsu confirmed his body had been found under rubble 12 days after a huge earthquake devastated Turkey, where the Ghanaian was playing for Hatayspor.

It was the 31-year-old's latest club in a storied career, which included stints with Premier League clubs Newcastle United, Bournemouth and Everton - and it was at the latter where he played alongside Lukaku.

The Belgian striker is now on loan at Inter Milan, and scored his second goal for the club with a penalty to open the scoring against Udinese.
