Lukaku got on the end of the delivery but keeper Plamen Iliev did well to make a block… only for the ball to the rebound off the ex-Chelsea forward’s head and into the net.

The 26-year-old looked almost embarrassed as he put Inter 2-1 up in the game and leading 4-1 overall.

But no one was in the crowd to see the fluke goal with the game played behind closed doors because of the coronavirus outbreak affecting Italy.

Stars of Ludogorets took no chances as they touched down in the country worst affected by the outbreak in Europe.

They were pictured before the game wearing facemasks as they stepped foot on the San Siro pitch before the Europa League clash.

The Bulgarian side travelled to the San Siro trailing 2-0 in the tie after first-leg Christian Eriksen and Lukaku goals.

But Georgi Terziev scored an own goal on the half hour mark before Lukaku’s jammy second sealed a 2-1 win for Antonio Conte’s men.

Inter were not able play their scheduled home match with Sampdoria last weekend – with three other top flight matches also unable to go ahead.

It came as the Serie A weekend was ravaged by postponements over fears of the pandemic.

There have been 322 cases of the virus in Italy – the highest number of infections outside Asia.
