Romelu Lukaku’s Europa League Goal Streak Comes to an End

All best things must come to an end, the adage goes. Romelu Lukaku learned it the hard way this Thursday evening. While he had scored in his last fourteen Europa League matches, the striker failed to score against Slavia Prague.

And when Big Rom’ doesn’t score, it’s all AS Roma that coughs. As evidenced by this 2-0 defeat in the Czech Republic which risks leaving its mark. At least for José Mourinho who came off his hinges after the meeting. “Absolutely, nothing worked. It’s a deserved result for them and for us. The best player on the pitch was a 20-year-old kid who, two years ago, wasn’t in his first team. The only one who didn’t deserve to lose was Bové.”

The Special One was therefore disappointed by his team and Romelu Lukaku was no exception to the rule. It’s also difficult to contradict the Portuguese. In his ninety minutes, Lukaku touched 37 balls and only tried his luck once for a shot… blocked. Far too little for a number nine of his stature.

Man of record, Big Rom’ will certainly be disappointed that this series ends. Across three clubs in ten years, he had scored 18 goals in 14 matches in this competition. More than likely, he will be keen to put the church back in the middle of the village this weekend. This is good news, AS Roma faces Lazio for the Eternal City derby.
