Romelu Lukaku Shows Chelsea What They're Missing as He and Ex-Fulham Man Spare Napoli's Blushes on UCL Debut
Lukaku Scores, Zielinski Seals Napoli Comeback
Romelu Lukaku marked his return to the Champions League with a goal as Inter Milan came from behind to beat Viktoria Plzen 2-1 on Wednesday. The Belgian striker, who left Chelsea for Inter in the summer, opened the scoring in the 83rd minute to cancel out Tomas Chory's first-half opener.
Piotr Zielinski then netted a stunning winner in the 90th minute to give Inter all three points in their Group C opener.
Fulham Loanee Saviour
Fulham loanee Anthony Knockaert played a key role in Fulham's 2-0 win over Debrecen in the Europa League third qualifying round on Thursday. The French winger set up both goals for Aleksandar Mitrovic, who scored in the 32nd and 83rd minutes to give Fulham a comfortable victory.
Conclusion
Lukaku's goal and Knockaert's assist were two of the most eye-catching moments on a night of European action. Both players showed that they have the quality to make a real impact at the highest level, and their performances will be a boost to their respective teams.
