Norwich 1-1 Everton: Wesley Hoolahan's Strike Earns Hosts Point

Chelsea's reject Romelu Lukaku scored his 6th EPL consecutive goal but the goal was cancelled out by Wesley Hoolahan's strike to deny the visitors full points.

A 40-year record was equalled and one held for a fortnight is now peering into view. Romelu Lukaku became the first Everton player to score in seven consecutive matches since Bob Latchford in 1975, six coming in the Premier League and Jamie Vardy’s 11 straight now becomes a relevant target.

Quite how Lukaku left East Anglia with just one remains a mystery after missing a glut of chances. And yet his manager, Roberto Martinez, will not mind because without him their defensive deficiencies would have meant a trip back to Merseyside with nothing.

Steven Pienaar Out Of Chelsea Clash As Lukaku Is A Major Doubt

Steven Pienaar has been ruled out of Everton's clash with Chelsea on Saturday but Romelu Lukaku could be fit to face his former club. Both players limped off in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Arsenal at Goodison Park, as Pienaar was replaced by Leon Osman after just 10 minutes with a groin complaint while Lukaku lasted 76 minutes before coming off with a toe problem.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea visit Merseyside next weekend and Everton manager Roberto Martinez has confirmed that midfielder Pienaar will definitely sit out, but the Spaniard was more hopeful on striker Lukaku who joined from Chelsea in a £28million deal in the close-season.

JOEL ROBLES: Romelu Lukaku Perfect For Diego Costa's Replacement At Atletico Madrid

Romelu Lukaku would be a perfect replacement for Diego Costa at Atletico Madrid, according to Everton goalkeeper Joel Robles.

Costa has passed his medical at Chelsea ahead of a €43m move, with the 25-year-old having netted 27 goals in 35 La Liga appearances last season as Atletico were crowned Spanish champions. And Joel believes Lukaku going in the opposite direction would be a perfect deal for both clubs after playing alongside the Belgium international at Goodison Park in 2013-14.

Lukaku's loan spell at Everton saw him score 15 goals in the Premier League, but his future at Stamford Bridge remains uncertain.
