#4 The missing case of the Everton forward
With seven goals ahead of their visit to Chelsea, Romelu Lukaku seemed certain to score tonight but the Belgian was all but missing during most of the game. Even though he had Bolasie playing alongside him as a second forward, the two could not develop any link up like they usually do. Even when Bolasie dropped back to his usual position on the flanks, he failed to feed anything to Lukaku.
Despite the former Chelsea striker’s efforts to drop back and win the ball for himself, he barely made Courtois, his childhood friend, break a sweat. His teammates could provide very little service to him and he was left with very few options. Rather, he could even be blamed for giving Costa too much space as he scored from a set piece in the first half.
