Lukaku sends love to Eriksen after double delight

  • Romelu Lukaku sent his support to Christian Eriksen after setting Belgium on its way to a 3-0 victory Russia in their UEFA Euro 2020 opener on Sunday (AEST).

Lukaku's Inter Milan team-mate Eriksen is awake in hospital and undergoing tests after collapsing during Denmark's encounter with Finland in Copenhagen earlier in a traumatic second day of the tournament.

Red Devils record goalscorer Lukaku said "Chris, I love you" into a television camera after his opening goal in the Group B match at Saint Petersburg Stadium.

Thomas Meunier scored Belgium's second in the first half and the impressive Lukaku added a late third as the top-ranked side in the world moved level on points with Finland, a 1-0 winner over Denmark in a game that resumed after encouraging news on Eriksen's health.
