Romelu Lukaku has vowed to breathe new life into Everton’s season and lift the pressure on manager Roberto Martinez after ending a six-game barren run.
The club’s £28million record signing struck an injury-time equaliser against West Ham on Tuesday night to keep Martinez’s side in the FA Cup and head off a crisis following four straight Premier League defeats.
It was Lukaku’s first goal in seven games and he said: ‘I wanted to show the manager how he can count on me.
‘I wanted to show it was just a temporary thing.
‘I want to win silverware, I want to end up as high as we can in the league and we have five months to do that.’
Martinez has been under fire as Everton have been too intricate at times, and Lukaku added: ‘We mixed up how we play a bit more against West Ham. At times we were a bit more direct.
‘The players were asking about doing that too. I asked them and we all said to the manager, “Can we play a bit more direct sometimes?”.
‘We have a style of play where we keep the ball a lot, but knew we needed to take more responsibility, play to my strengths more and they did it perfectly.’ Daily Mail
