Some West Brom fans have flocked to a tweet that was recently posted by Inter forward Romelu Lukaku in which he reflects positively on his time at The Hawthorns.
A West Brom supporter recently took to Twitter to ask Baggies midfielder, Romaine Sawyers, what his “favourite Albion game” is from a fan’s perspective. The 28-year-old midfielder responded to this question via a tweet of his own, naming the Baggies’ 5-5 draw with Manchester United from the 2012/13 season as his favourite, giving a special mention to Lukaku’s performance in that game which he describes as a “masterclass”.
Sawyers’ tweet prompted a response from Lukaku himself, who shared that he also has fond memories of that 5-5 draw with Manchester United, a game in which he scored a hat-trick.
The Inter striker’s tweet caught the attention of some West Brom fans who have been responding with admiration for the ex-Baggies attacker. Some West Brom supporters have even taken the opportunity to call for Lukaku to make a return to the Hawthorns in response to the Belgian international’s tweet.

What do we think?
Lukaku spent just one season at The Hawthorns, having joined the club on loan from Chelsea for the 2012/13 campaign. According to Transfermarkt.co.uk, the Belgian forward scored 17 goals and made seven assists in his 35 Premier League appearances during the 2012/13 Premier League season. Only five players scored more Premier League goals than Lukaku that term.
It may be fair to say that the Belgian forward enjoyed a successful loan spell at West Brom, considering his impressive goalscoring record. As a result, it may be understandable why he may look back fondly on his time at The Hawthorns, and in particular, this 5-5 draw with Manchester United in which he scored a hat-trick.
