Everton forward Romelu Lukaku has been on fire this term, showing the potential that saw him become the top scorer of the Belgian Pro League at just 16 years of age.

Now, at 22, he has reached the 50-goal milestone in Premier League football, becoming one of the youngest players to achieve the feat.

The previous four youngsters to hit 50 were Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Wayne Rooney.

His headed effort on Saturday put the Toffees up 2-0 against struggling Aston Villa after just 29 minutes, and could lift Roberto Martinez's outfit as high as seventh in the league table depending on other results.
