Man City 3-1 Everton: 5 Observations From The Game

By Edward Owen /

3. Romelu Lukaku Is Chelsea's Best Striker

It's a weird one, this. With Torres and Eto'o looking shadows of their former selves and Jose Mourinho not being convinced by Demba Ba, they really need a more clinical striker. Yet strangely, they already have one €“ he just happens to be scoring in Merseyside blue instead. Despite being starved of service in the later stages of the game, Lukaku provd once again that he's completely at home among the frenetic cut-and-thrust of the Premier League and even managed to bag himself a goal for his efforts. The fact of the matter is that the big Belgian looks threatening whenever he touches the ball €“ he gives Martinez's men a justifiably world-class outlet for their clever, intricate play and can bully lesser defenders into submission. Bagging his fourth goal of his Premier League season today and constantly looking like a thorn in City's side, he's starting to look like the one who got away for Chelsea. The weird thing is that it's all of their own doing.
