Romelu Lukaku had been suffering something of a goal drought ahead of Belgium’s friendly against Mexico on Friday night.The striker had gone seven matches without a goal for Manchester United and has been widely criticised for his performances of late.However, that drought is now well and truly over after scoring twice for Belgium during their entertaining 3-3 draw with Mexico.And while he would have been delighted to finally find the back of the net, the manner he did so had football fans laughing.Much was made of his ‘poor first touch' when he made the £75 million move from Everton to United in the summer.And, ironically, it was his 'poor first touch' and saw him score his first for weeks.As the cross came into the box, Lukaku was at the back post waiting for the ball. When it found its way to him, all that was needed was a touch and a finish.No, actually. All that was needed was a touch - a very bad one.That’s because Lukaku’s terrible first touch actually found its way into the back of the net.

Watch: Lukaku scores with his first touch

Take a look:

Incredible.

While Lukaku would have been delighted to finally find the back of the net again, football fans were mocking him for his touch.

How football fans reacted

Check out the reaction on Twitter:

Luckily for the United striker, he did later find the back of the net in more familiar circumstances after Dries Mertens’ low cross was tapped home by Lukaku inside the six-yard box.

There is a saying about taking one “off the backside” when you’re in desperate need of a goal and, in a way, that’s exactly what happened with Lukaku tonight.

He might be getting mocked for his touch but he won’t care in the slightest.
