Manchester United's Romelu Lukaku scores 100th Premier League goal

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku scored his 100th Premier League goal in the clash with Swansea at Old Trafford.

Lukaku, 24, needed just five minutes to break the deadlock as his strike went in via a deflection off Alfie Mawson.

It was the striker's 15th league goal for United after arriving from Everton in a £75 million deal in the summer.

Lukaku bagged 68 Premier League goals during four seasons at Goodison Park and 17 in a season-long loan spell at West Bromwich Albion.

The 24-year-old reached the landmark in 216 games at a rate of 0.46 goals a game. He is the 28th player to reach 100 Premier League goals and the first Belgian to achieve the feat.
