AFTER PUTTING EVERTON 2-1 up against West Ham in the FA Cup this evening, Romelu Lukaku was understandably emotional.

The striker’s participation in the game was in doubt following the death of Wolfsburg’s Junior Malanda in a tragic car accident.

Malanda and Lukaku were both Belgian youth internationals and were also close growing up.

Therefore, when the big striker got his goal this evening, the emotion of the moment was palpable (see above).
