Lukaku celebrates his third goal

Everton took on Bournemouth in what was perhaps one of the most thrilling games of the season. After Lukaku demolished the Cherries’ defence to give Everton a 3-0 lead by half time, it was Joshua King’s turn to come to the fore with two goals which gave Bournemouth hope.

However, the big Belgian scored two more in the 83rd and 84th minute respectively to make the score 5-2 and put the game well out of the reach of the visitors.

Lukaku showed brilliant finishing, smart movement off the ball and pure strength to establish himself as one of the best strikers in Europe.


#4 Marco Silva has made an instant impact at Hull City

Marco Silva has formerly managed Sporting CP

After being appointed as the manager of Hull City, Marco Silva has won four and drawn one of the eight games the Tigers have played this year in all competitions. In his first Premier League game, Silva coached his side to a 3-1 win over Bournemouth.

This was followed by a victory over Manchester United in the League Cup as well as a draw against them at Old Trafford in the Premier League. With the 2-0 victory over Liverpool, Silva has now won all four of his home games and certainly seems to be saving the Tigers’ season.
