Fellaini scored a trio of similar goals with all of them coming from crosses from the right-hand side. Two of those crosses were from corner kicks.

Former West Brom and Newcastle striker Salomon Rondon had headed the hosts into a 57th-minute lead. Rafael Benítez’s Dalian netted a second through Marcus Danielson.

Fellaini spent 11 years in England before moving to China in February 2019.

His former club, the Blues, face Bournemouth in their final game of 2019/20 this afternoon.
