CHELSEA fans suddenly want Romelu Lukaku back after his insane" assist for Belgium against England.

The Roma loanee conjured a curling cross with the outside of his left foot for Youri Tielemans to net with a flying header at Wembley.

That second goal of the night from Tielemans left the visitors 2-1 up at half-time in Tuesday's friendly, Ivan Toney having replied with a penalty.

And Blues' fans raved over Lukaku's inventive intervention - telling boss Mauricio Pochettino the 30-year-old can solve their strike problems.

Keeper Jordan Pickford was to blame for Tielemans' opener.

But it was Lewis Dunk who was severely punished by Lukaku's "incredible skill" just before the break.

The former Manchester United targetman smuggled the ball off the Brighton defender, before showing sublime vision.

The ex-Inter Milan hero delicately bent the ball round the front of the England defence for Tielemans to dive at the back post and nod in.

Blues' supporters rushed in with social media posts like: "Recall Lukaku back to Chelsea now."

Another said: "That Lukaku cross was filthy. Get him back to Chelsea immediately."

A third wrote: "Imagine if Chelsea had a forward like Romelu Lukaku, the experience and quality he would bring would be amazing. Oh wait!!"

And a fourth added: "What a cross from Lukaku, I think Chelsea needs to reconsider this guy.  "

But one fan reckons Chelsea should instead try to cash in on a player who has spent the last two seasons on loan at Inter and now Roma.

He said: "Seriously though that’s an outrageous assist from Lukaku. Hopefully the Saudis are watching."
