Everton makes a surprising first part of season in the Premier League. Fourth in the Premier League table, the Toffees have run a series of ten games without defeat before being halted by Sunderland on December 26.

In addition, if Romelu Lukaku knew a long period of scarcity (524 minutes without scoring), he was author of the sole strike of their 1-0 win over Southampton, bringing its total to 9.

The Belgian international of Congolese origin is on the rise since he joined Everton last summer. He was loaned by Chelsea on the last day of the summer transfer window.

Halfway through the league, Lukaku and Everton have come to compete with the ogres of the Premier League. For the Belgian- Congolese striker, the Toffees can finish in the top 4 at the end of the season. He even hopes the Premier League title.

“We are not surprised by our season, we know our quality. We must be more ruthless in the field; this is what we have to handle in the second half of the season. You can say that we are Outsiders for the title. Do not be shy. I knew as soon as I arrived. I called my agent and my father and I said we did a great thing,” said the Belgian striker Sky Sports.
