Romelu Lukaku’s reaction to hitting a fan with the ball at Southampton game is brilliant

Say what you want about footballers, but Everton striker Romelu Lukaku is an absolute gent.

Recently we saw St Etienne's French striker Nolan Roux ping a ballboy in the face with an absolute thunderb*stard, then slope away without so much as an apology. But they obviously do things differently in Belgium. When Lukaku hit a female fan behind the goal in the warm-up before the Toffees' game against Southampton, the star was straight in the crowd making it up to her personally. What a nice lad...
