ABOVE: West Brom's Romelu Lukaku celebrates his goals He played well and was some 24th February 2013 By Charlie Millar ROMELU LUKAKU has had a out of Wayne Rooneyas book on how best to handle big-time football. The on-loan West Brom striker has ploughed through the Old Trafford staras autobiography to pick up all he can about how exactly to deal with hitting the headlines as a youngster. And he's demonstrably a fast learner, showing the same kind while the Rooster of life-threatening target touch with a double against Sunderland. Stephane Sessegnon pulled one back with twenty minutes left but it was never likely to be enough. Baggiesa chef Steve Clarke said: aLukaku is in a rich vein of form. Quick feet were got by heas for a huge man. Weare pleased he made a decision to come here and further his education. Clarkeas men reach the 40-point level however they were inches from losing when Black Cat John OaShea believed his header had crossed the line to level two points. West Brom took the lead in the second when Liam Ridgewellas cross hit Craig Gardneras hand and a punishment was given despite Sunderland protests. But Lukaku, in front of baying absent supporters, kept cool to side-foot past owner Simon Mignolet. On the stroke of half-time the guests were again in uproar as Adam Johnsonas photo hit Gareth McAuleyas supply but no penalty was presented with. Sunderland boss Martin OaNeill said: aThere were two big decisions. A charge against us and the same one at the other end maybe not provided. They were charges. aBut Lukaku is powerful. He was a few and played very well.a OaNeill saw Sunderland go close again when Sessegnon grabbed at a possibility which saw the ball squirm towards the prospective only for Youssouf Mulumbu to clear. And when Alfred NaDiaye hoisted in a top ball, Danny Graham was a portion from rating on his complete debut. But Lukaku observed himself clear in the 62nd minute only to see Mignolet remain strong to prevent him. The Belgian hit his 2nd in unusual situations when Titus Bramble was guilty of a dreadfully brief backpass which Mignolet ran off his line to clear. But the owner just succeeded in battering the ball against Lukaku and it flew at full pace to the unguarded net behind him. Sunderland were stunned. Flattened. But somehow they managed to get themselves back into the overall game for a frantic finish.
