Lukaku makes history after scoring a brace against Tunisia.

With two goals for Belgium against Tunisia, the Manchester United striker surpassed Jan Ceulemans to become the Belgian player with the most goals in World Cup and EURO tournaments (7 goals). In the first group stage match of the 2018 World Cup, he also contributed two goals to Belgium's impressive 3-0 victory over Panama.
