He probably thought he had by the end of their wild 4-3 win over Fulham, but as it turns out, his first - a magnificent free-kick which struck the bar and went in - actually went over the line via the back of Bernd Leno, the goalkeeper credited with an own goal as a result. Continue this way though, and a first brace won’t be far away.
