Romelu Lukaku has to be the Premier League player of the weekend.

Always criticized for his first touch, Lukaku had a brilliant game on Saturday, and his first touches in the game helped him score the two wonderful goals.

Lukaku terrorized the Southampton defence for the whole game due to his huge presence in the opposition half. He almost opened the scoring for United after a deflected Pogba through-ball found him in the six-yard box.

The Belgian then went on to score two beautiful goals for Manchester United - one coming after a turn which left the Southampton defenders for dead, and the second was a beautiful first touch shot from outside the penalty box.

This was the old Lukaku, who once dominated the Premier League during his stint at Everton.
