Lukaku records milestone as Manchester United defeat Swansea

Romelu Lukaku became the first Belgian to reach 100 Premier League goals as Manchester United quickly regained second place in the table from Liverpool with a comfortable 2-0 win over Swansea City on Saturday.
The powerful striker put his team in front within five minutes from a pass by Alexis Sanchez, who added the second quarter of an hour later.
United, with record signing Paul Pogba back in the side, were dominant, although David de Gea did have to make two saves from Tammy Abraham.
Swansea, revitalised under Jose Mourinho’s friend and compatriot Carlos Carvalhal, remain three points above the relegation zone but drop down a place to 15th.
Swansea improved after the break, with Tammy Abraham twice denied by David de Gea, but United were always in control.
Jose Mourinho’s side re-opened a two-point gap over third-placed Liverpool, who won 2-1 at Crystal Palace earlier on Saturday.
