The Belgian international scored both goals in the World Cup qualifier against Crotia and booked his country a place in Brazil in the process. Lukaku is sure to fire more goals in the 2014 competition and Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho will surely give him a first team spot at Stamford Bridge next season.
