Chelsea fans begging Romelu Lukaku to come back after Europa League goal as six former players all score

Chelsea fans were all saying the same thing after Romelu Lukaku scored for Roma against Brighton in the Europa League.

Roma extended their lead over Brighton just before half time in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 tie through Lukaku.

An error from Lewis Dunk saw the Chelsea loanee latch on to his loose touch as he sprinted towards the Brighton goal.

And the Belgium international made no mistake one-on-one with Seagulls goalkeeper Jason Steele and some Blues fans were left yearning.

One fan said: "Bring him back."

Another wrote: "Should have stayed at Chelsea this season."
