Romelu Lukaku scores 81 seconds into Inter Milan return to taunt Chelsea
Romelu Lukaku has taunted Chelsea by scoring just 81 seconds into his Inter Milan return.
The Belgian striker returned to Italy on a season-long loan earlier this summer after enduring a torrid time at Chelsea following his £100million move to Stamford Bridge last summer. Having scored just eight league goals for the Blues, Lukaku has now headed back to former side Inter and made his second debut for the club on Saturday night.
He wasted no time settling back in either, scoring less than a minute-and-a-half into their Serie A opener away to Lecce with a close range header at the back post.

Lukaku was given the simplest of tasks, nodding into an empty net after Matteo Darmian had headed the ball back across the box from a cross.
Fans were quick to mock Chelsea on social media after Lukaku's goal, with one tweeting: "The players at Chelsea can never do this."
Another added: "This guy owns Chelsea Football Club." Meanwhile, a third supporter also wrote: "100% misses that for Chelsea hahaha."
How many goals will Romelu Lukaku score for Inter Milan this season? Let us know in the comments section below.
Newly promoted Lecce were able to pull themselves back level shortly after half-time, though, as Assan Ceesay capped a flowing counter attack by finding the far corner from a tight angle.
However, Inter snatched a dramatic stoppage time winner through right-back Denzel Dumfries, who bundled the ball in at the back post five minutes into additional time.
The on-loan forward has picked up exactly where he left off in Italy, with his Inter record now standing at 65 goals in just 96 appearances. Lukaku also won the title during his final season with the club before moving to Chelsea last summer.
He had spent two years in Italy after leaving Manchester United in 2019 but failed to carry his Serie A form back to the Premier League, scoring just 15 goals in 43 appearances in all competitions last season.
