Premier League 2018/19: 5 talking points from Round 4 of the season

#2 Romelu Lukaku's finishing still needs a lot of work

Lukaku should have gotten more goals

A cursory look at the scoreline from Manchester United's redeeming win over Burnley would give one the false impression that Lukaku had a great game.

The Belgian attacker got two goals but the story from the match was really about his wastefulness in front of goal. A pattern seems to have emerged about his scoring abilities this season: when he has to react instinctively, there are few strikers as deadly as the 24-year-old. However, when he has time to settle and make a decision, he more often than not fluffs his lines.

Against a disjointed Claret side, he got in a header from a delicious Alexis Sanchez cross and was the first to react to a loose ball for his second. However, he missed a host of glittering chances that should have added more gloss to the scoreline.

This has been a recurring fail of his (recall the gilt-edged chance against Tottenham Hotspur that would have put a different complexion to the game). It is one that he will have to address if he ever wants to occupy the world-class striker discussion.
