The striker revealed what he said to the Chilean international, stating: “I told him yesterday in training, I said ‘listen, you’re gonna score tomorrow and I will give you the ball, as long as you run when I’m inside. If I can’t shoot just run, and I’ll find you’.”

Lukaku then praised his side’s performance, adding:

“We had a lot of moments where we could have countered better, especially in the second half, I think we could have scored maybe two or three more goals, but 3-1 winning at Arsenal, the way how they play, they don’t lose a lot this season, is good.”
