Lukaku proves his heavy mettle

Deadly display against Chelsea should silence striker's critics

MANCHESTER - Romelu Lukaku quietened questions about his ability to deliver against the best opposition by scoring and setting up the winner for Jesse Lingard as Manchester United beat Chelsea 2-1 on Sunday.

Lukaku hadn't netted in any of his six previous matches against top-six Premier League opponents for United, leading to suggestions the Belgian can only turn it on against the smaller clubs.
