Romelu Lukaku's goalscoring run is not only making strides for Inter, but also in UEFA Europa League history.
The Belgian ace struck gold for Inter inside the first five minutes of the game against Sevilla, and with that goal he managed to earn a spot in tournament's history and in Inter's all-time goalscorers' list.
Lukaku's penalty kick saw him accomplish a couple of records in the competition, especially when you realize how fast he managed to send the ball to the back of the net.

The Belgian ace also managed to join Cristiano Ronaldo in an elite goalscoring list for European competitions.

Last, but not least, Lukaku managed to level Ronaldo's goalscoring tally with Inter during his debut season. Not bad for a man some fans called a flop!
