Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku was delighted with his performance in their win at Aston Villa on Sunday.
His two most eye-catching moments at Villa Park came as he outsmarted Tyrone Mings to make the space to head in his goal just over 10 minutes after being introduced, and then the powerful run which beat two defenders and led to the penalty.
Lukaku admitted they showed two very different parts to his game – one the instinctive drive towards goal he has always enjoyed and the other the clever centre-forward play which he has worked hard to add to his skillset.
"The goal was just movement," he explained. "For balls like crosses and stuff, throughout the years my movement in the box has gotten better. I try to be less static, I try to be on the move all the time. The cross was a brilliant cross and I just came across him.
"For the penalty, that's my preferred action, running into space and using my speed and my power. The defender made contact and then Jorgi finished it off for us."
