Lukaku scores 50th PL goal for Everton
The Belgium international hit just four goals during the last Premier League season, as the Blues sacked Jose Mourinho and finished outside of European qualification.
The rejuvenated attacker has beaten that mark in just 10 games this time around, as he marked his fifth of the season with an early strike against Southampton.
Indeed, this latest strike means he has scored in his last three consecutive Premier League games - a new record for the star.
The Saints have always been one of Hazard’s favorite opponents, with Sunday’s goal being his third against the Hampshire side.
Only Tottenham and Newcastle, with four each, have conceded more to the dangerous Belgian than Claude Puel’s charges.
