Southampton 0-3 Everton: Lukaku sweeps Saints aside


The Belgian struck twice and Ross Barkley completed the scoring as Roberto Martinez's side put in an exceptional first half performance away from home



A dominant display from Romelu Lukaku helped Everton to a 3-0 victory over Southampton at St Mary's.



Lukaku opened the scoring, heading a perfect Arouna Kone cross beyond Maarten Stekelenburg from close range after a sweeping counter-attack.

And the Belgian doubled the lead before half time, latching on to a Ross Barkley pass to beat Stekelenburg with a well-taken first time shot.

Graziano Pelle went close and Southampton gave Oriol Romeu a debut as they attempted to find a way back into the game, but Barkley made sure of the win late on with a cool finish. [GOAL]
