Penalty retaken by Lukaku in Inter-Udinese: what happened – Corriere.it

Lukaku returned to scoring in the league. He hadn’t scored since last August 13, at Lecce, on the first matchday of the championship. Then the injury, the physical decline, the negative World Cup, the return, the missed opportunities and now the goal against Udinese. Thanks to the penalty converted. Booed by the referee for a foul by Walace, who slides into Dumfries. The match director points to the puck after being called to the VAR and checking on the monitor.

So the Belgian shows up from the penalty spot, eager to find his way back to goal. But he kicks badly, Silvestri saves. Seems like a missed opportunity but from the Var room they report that a Udinese player entered the area before the shot. Penalty to be repeated and this time Lukaku is not wrong.

Inter ahead and sigh of relief for the attacker. That beyond the championship, he hadn’t scored since 26 October in the Champions League match against Viktoria Plzen, won 4-0 by the Nerazzurri. Now Romelu is a candidate for a starting position in the Champions League on Wednesday 22 February at the San Siro against Porto. But for Europe that matters, Dzeko is pawing. With a look at the redemption from Chelsea to marry Inter (almost) for life.
