Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Hails 'Quality Finisher' Romelu Lukaku After Palace Brace

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hailed striker Romelu Lukaku as "a quality finisher" after the Belgian scored a match-winning brace in their 3-1 victory at Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

The Red Devils overcame a rash of injuries to win their eighth successive away game under Solskjaer, and the Norwegian told the media how pleased he was with Lukaku as he deputised for Marcus Rashford in attack:

"He was through the middle. We created chances for him, he put them away well. He's done loads of running up and down the line, right wing, left wing.
