Everton striker Romelu Lukaku: 'Hat-trick puts me back in business'

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku insists that he is "back in business" after scoring a hat-trick against Sunderland last night.

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has claimed that he is "back in business" after scoring a hat-trick against Sunderland last night.

The Belgium international took four Premier League games to get off the mark, and he did it in fine fashion in a 3-0 triumph at the Stadium of Light.

"Physically, I needed one more week [before the international break] but I'm happy," Lukaku told evertontv. "I've got the goals flowing now, I'm back in business and I want to help my teammates as much as I can to achieve our objectives.

"In the first half, everybody was running through the middle and we made it easy for Sunderland. We didn't capitalise on possession, the last pass wasn't there but the defence was brilliant, like they have been since the start of the season.

"But, in the second half, we made the pitch big, everyone was playing their position and we created so many chances. It showed what we can do. If we exploit the spaces on the pitch we can do a lot of good things."

Everton's next game is against Middlesbrough at Goodison Park on Saturday.
