GIF: Lukaku takes advantage of West Brom miscue to open scoring

Reuters

Romelu Lukaku refused to celebrate against West Brom, where he spent the 2012-13 season on loan from Chelsea, but no one would have blamed him if he did after his superb goal gives Everton an early 1-0 advantage.

The Belgian forward took advantage of an awful giveaway when defender Jonas Olsson's clearance attempt found Lukaku at the top of the box. After taking a touch, Lukaku unleashed a curling shot past goalkeeper Ben Foster and into the back of the net.

He respectfully refused to celebrate as his teammates mobbed him in the away end of the pitch.
