The goal marked Lukaku’s 78th goal in all competitions for the Toffee’s and also his 78th goal in the Premier League, with the goals having been scored for the Toffees as well as his former club West Brom.
As Cahill is a former fan favorite and one who will bring back good memories to Everton faithful, this was definitely a touching gesture and showed his humility.
