"Manchester United" team defeated "West Brom" team 2:1 on Sunday afternoon. In the 27th minute, Romelu Lukaku scored a goal, Jesse Lingard doubled the lead for the "Red Devils" after 8 minutes, and Gareth Barry narrowed the result in the 77th minute. The first goal of the match is the most discussed. R. Lukaku sent the ball into Ben Foster's goal with his head, but when the ball ended up in the net, the Belgian showed no emotions. R. Lukaku just stood still and did not celebrate or show any excitement, as is usual for footballers. "Man Utd" coach Jose Mourinho defended his team's forward and said that one of the possible reasons is that R. Lukaku used to play for the "West Brom" team. He played here in the 2012-13 season when he was on loan from the "Chelsea" team. "I wouldn't celebrate either, and no one was happier than me. I'm happy for the win, but enough to look at myself, how I used to celebrate goals 15 years ago. With age, you learn to control your emotions. Unless you score a winning goal in the last moment. Simply put, Romelu remembers the fact that he was a happy child in the "West Brom" team. He was given the opportunity to become the footballer he is now. Perhaps it was just out of love for the club," Mourinho said.
