Everton’s venture into the Europa League this season has seemingly affected the team’s consistency with the dreaded Thursday / Sunday schedule a real issue for the club.
Despite that, Lukaku has thrived and in seven European appearances has scored six goals to help his team progress to the last 16.
In fact, Lukaku scored his first ever hat-trick for Everton in a 4-1 win against BSC Young Boys. If Everton do go on to win the competition it will in large part be due to Lukaku’s impressive goal scoring tally.
