Lukaku reveals Stamford Bridge dream after euphoric brace in front of Chelsea fans

The Belgium star netted his first home goal for the Blues, 10 years after arriving in west London for his first stint at the club

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku admitted that he fulfilled a childhood fantasy in finally opening his account in front of the Stamford Bridge faithful.

The Belgium international has made a blistering start to his second spell with the Blues, scoring three goals in as many games since moving from Inter over the summer.

But Saturday's double to down Aston Villa held special significance for him as he was given a rousing ovation by the home crowd.
