Still not first on MOTD...

A disgrace! I watched the Chelski-Arsenal game live today. Poor game with only the goals its saving grace.

Cockney bias once again. Unbelieveable...

 

[SantaClausisanEvertonian]

Absolutely amazing today!!! The world's best defenders couldn't have coped with Lukaku.
It was my daughter's first Premier League game today; the word 'unforgettable' doesn't even come close!
Shame about the soft goals we gave away but six for The Blues will do for me people!!!

 

[SantaClausisanEvertonian]

Yes I had a sneaky laudable looklollollollol

Sorry fellas but I just can't be arsed wasting my time on those knobs, even though I'm sure I would enjoy every single rant!!!

Pace,power,great technique,yeah if we are being picky,only us,only Everton would have let them back in at 3-2(great stop by Joel at that point too)but I think the last few games we are beginning to see Koemans ethos taking place at Goodison,made up

Didn't they come back and beat rs 3 2

 

[Jeff Jones]

I was shocked, but not surprised when they pulled it back to3-2. They were getting forward and looking a bit
nifty late in the first half. Anyway, you couldn't knocked the entertainment, and maybe we've got that spell of
sloppy defending out of our system at a good time.

Oh, and what about Niasse?lol

 

[TheBlueGibbon]

The referee truly was awful wasn't he?

 

[TX Bill]

My MoTM was James McCarthy with Lukaku a close second.

Impressed for the most part with Lookman.

Williams had a nightmare.

Mirallas strong when he came in. Want more of that.

Davies sub helped change the momentum a bit.

That is all.

The referee truly was awful wasn't he?

Thought I was the only one who noticed. Gave us nothing and gave them everything.

The icing on the cake was them scoring a goal after it went out of play, though admittedly that's the linesman's job.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Didn't they come back and beat rs 3 2

4-3 wasn't it?

For Rom score 4 in any premier league game is just fantastic! Great entertainment, although was abit nervy at 3-2, think i need us to be about 8-0 for us to feel safe n not nervy haha..

Keep it up blues, shame we didn't nick the win at Stoke

 

[OneTrueLegend]

I know we won and it doesn't really matter, but for Harry Arter's goal, the ball clearly went out, behind the goal, before he scored. It annoys me when these things are missed. I think the goal line technology should be extended behind the goal. That Sterling goal in the league cup which was similar, still annoys me

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Thought Barkley, Lookman & Rom had great games today. Very nervy at 3-2, and thought 'surely not....' Ref had a shocker too. Loved Ross's pre-celebration!

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Was their last goal out of play? Looked it at the time.

I thought so, we were in line with it in the main stand. Didn't matter in the end I guess, but annoyed at the time!

Some interesting facts pinched straight from the BBC.

Everton have already won more points at home this season (25) than they managed in the whole of 2015/16 (23).
Romelu Lukaku has scored the 300th hat-trick in Premier League history.
Only Duncan Ferguson (60) has scored more PL goals for Everton than Lukaku (59).
Lukaku has scored six goals in his last three Premier League appearances at Goodison Park, after a run of four league games without one there.
This was the first time that the Belgian striker has ever scored four goals in a Premier League match.
James McCarthy scored and assisted in the same Premier League game for the first time in his career.
Josh King scored his 11th and 12th Premier League goals for Bournemouth; making him the Cherries' highest scoring player in the competition.
This was just the second match in Premier League history at Goodison Park to witness nine goals, after Everton 3-6 Chelsea in August 2014

Who would have thought that in the space of 3 years there would be two 6-3 scorelines at Goodison? it's not exactly a common result is it?
