Lukaku compounds Everton’s misery in Man United’s 4-0 rout
When Romelu Lukaku slotted the ball into the Everton net, the Manchester United striker had no intention of holding back on the celebrations.
Far from it. Especially after being jeered during Sunday’s Premier League game by the Everton fans who revered him before an off-season transfer across northern England. The Belgian, who cost 75 million pounds (then $97 million), cupped his right ear to those supporters.
“The celebration was just a bit of banter,” Lukaku said after scoring the third goal in a 4-0 drubbing of Everton. “I missed the free kick and they jeered me but I scored the rebound.”
It compounded the miserable run for his former club. It’s now four consecutive losses in all competitions, three in the league, with Everton conceding 12 goals without reply in the process.
