Striker Romelu Lukaku displayed a stellar performance as his brace guided Everton to a 3-1 win over BSG Young Boys in the Europa League round of 32 second leg on Thursday night at Goodison Park.

Everton recorded a staggering 7-2 aggregate over the Swiss sporting club, which saw Lukaku scoring a total of five individual goals in the tie, the BBC reported.
