No more sliding on my knees!' - Chelsea star Lukaku says he'll retire celebration after Villa mishap

 

The Belgian bagged a brace to continue his superb start to the season, but suffered a pratfall in his attempts to commemorate the moment

Romelu Lukaku has vowed to retire his knee-slide celebration after the Chelsea striker took an ungracious tumble during the Blues' victory over Aston Villa on Saturday.

The Belgian bagged a brace to continue his superb start to his second life at Stamford Bridge, keeping Thomas Tuchel's side firmly in the mix near the Premier League summit.

But the striker's attempt to commemorate his first goal was scuppered when his attempted knee slide fell short, leaving him in a comical heap - and the forward has now stated he will not repeat the feat.
