It was a horrible miss, come off it, he should have finished it without question!
Of course he should've but it wasn't particularly "shocking". You see those every other game. Simple one v one against the keeper (and it was his good work that lead to it). People are acting as if he missed at empty goal. The fact that it looked as if it was going in and the shock that it didn't has distorted people's perception of it, I think.

You'd expect and premier league striker to have finished it though. It would have put the game to bed too. It was poor from Lukaku.

Happens with all strikers right enough.

Very nice pass for the goal. Perfectly weighted.

Good awareness for the assist.

Probably his poorest game for us so far. Needs to do better holding the ball up, which tbf he has done in the previous couple of games.

He was very good today, his overall game was good, so was his link up play.

Goal and an assist. Poor miss but you can't ask for more from your striker.

Wasn't his best game for us, but can't complain with the end result. Set up the goal to kill the game off and then put one in himself. Great effort to get to the ball for his goal.

He was awful today, but still got the assist and goal. Please don't let him take free kicks.

Love how the Everton fans laughed at his freekick only for him to bury the follow up.
