The Everton striker drew a blank against Yeovil Town this week.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman has told his pre-match press conference that he is not worried about Romelu Lukaku scoring goals.
The striker had been expected to leave Goodison Park this summer after openly discussing his desire to play Champions League football for months.
However, an exit looks unlikely after the Blues slapped a £75 million asking price on his head to ward off interest.
He instead finds himself leading the line for the Blues once again, with the side’s goalscoring burden very much on his shoulders.

This week saw him put in something of an indifferent display in the EFL Cup win over Yeovil Town, as he missed several chances to find he back of the net.
But Koeman has backed his star forward, insisting that he will score 50% of the time.
“I am not worried about Romelu scoring goals. He is still not 100% at his physical level. If he has two chances, he will score one,” said the Everton manager.

While the Dutchman insists he is not worried about Lukaku scoring goals, he will likely be hoping he starts scoring before too long.
The current Blues squad is lacking in sufficient back-up to the Belgian striker at present, with them heavily reliant on the striker scoring the goals that they need.
