The on-loan West Brom striker has ploughed through the Old Trafford staras autobiography to get all they can about how exactly to cope with hitting the news as a youngster. And he is obviously a quick learner, showing the same kind because the Rooster of lethal purpose effect with a double against Sunderland. Stephane Sessegnon pulled one right back with five minutes left however it was never likely to be adequate. Baggiesa boss Steve Clarke said: aLukaku is in a rich vein of form. Heas got fast legs for a huge man. Weare pleased he thought we would come here and further his knowledge. Clarkeas men have reached the 40-point level however they were inches from falling two things when Black Cat John OaShea believed his header had crossed the line to level.
