Having scored twice in Belgium's opening game against Panama to kick-start his nation's campaign with a 3-0 win, Lukaku continued his hot streak against Tunisia.
The 'Red Devils' had taken an early lead through an Eden Hazard penalty in the 6th minute, and they tightened their grip on the clash 10 minutes later.
The second goal of the game came after Dries Mertens threaded the Manchester United forward through into space outside the box on the counter attack. Lukaku took full of advantage of the chance, holding it up before firing it back across the goalkeeper towards the back post.
Then, after Tunisia pulled one back, the danger man reestablished a two goal cushion on the stroke of half-time. This time the work was done by Thomas Meunier, who cut inside from the right. The Tunisian defence were all over the shop, and Lukaku was fed a tasty reverse-ball to finish off.
Again he pounced, this time dinking the ball over the keeper to make it 3-1 in the 3rd minute of added time. The brace means that the in-form striker has scored 17 times in his last 11 games for his country.
