Romelu Lukaku played a crucial role in Everton’s away victory against West Ham on Matchday 5 of the English Premier League. Despite being on loan from Chelsea to Everton and starting as a substitute, Lukaku made a significant impact by scoring the third goal for his team. However, his goal came at a cost as he suffered a head injury in the process.
In a post-match statement, Lukaku revealed that he doesn’t remember scoring the goal and even had to ask the doctor who scored. He stated, “I didn’t even know it was me. That’s the first thing I asked the doctor: ‘who scored?’ He said ‘you.'”
Despite the injury, Lukaku’s performance was praised by his coach, Roberto Martinez, who acknowledged the striker as a special and competitive player. Martinez expressed confidence that Lukaku could become a major part of the team.
The incident underscores the physical toll and risks that footballers sometimes face on the field, even in moments of success such as scoring a goal.
