Lukaku Strikes Twice, Dedicates His Inspirational Display To Eriksen

After Christian Eriksen collapsed during Denmark’s Euro 2020 game against Finland, Romelu Lukaku dedicated his inspired performance in Belgium’s triumph over Russia to him.

After falling to the ground late in the first half of Saturday’s Group B match at Parken Stadium, Denmark captain Eriksen was stretchered out of the field for emergency care.

His teammates formed a protective barrier around him while efforts were made to resuscitate him until he regained consciousness.

Lukaku wept as he watched the game, then went on to score twice in Belgium’s 3-0 victory over Russia later that day.

After putting the Red Devils ahead, the striker cried “I love you Chris” into a television camera.

“I’m really happy with the win but for me, it was difficult to play today because my mind was with my teammate, Christian.

“I hope that he’s healthy and I dedicate this to him”.
