Chelsea striker Lukaku fulfilled 'childhood dream' with Stamford Bridge double

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has said he fulfilled a childhood dream by scoring at Stamford Bridge.

The Belgian, who has returned for his second spell with the club, scored a double in the 3-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.

"It's a relief," Lukaku told the club's website about getting his first goals at the Bridge. "It was my dream, since I was 11 I have waited for this moment and worked hard for this moment.

"But I am very happy with the win, it was an important game for us. It was about focus and motivation and we showed the will to win from the first minute so I'm very happy with the result.

"It was great to score, as I said this was a childhood dream for me and I'm very happy to be in this situation, but I want us to win."
