Romelu Lukaku scored four goals, including the fastest at Goodison Park in the Premier League era, as Everton defeated Bournemouth 6-3 in a breathless encounter.

Lukaku’s first, a ferocious left-foot finish from the edge of the box, eclipsed by a couple of seconds David Unsworth’s famed 32-seconds strike in the first game under David Moyes in March 2002.

The Belgian then added a second after James McCarthy had also scored to cap a blistering first half, only for Bournemouth to pull it back to 3-2 through Joshua King’s second-half brace.

Lukaku settled the nerves by adding another two in as many minutes to move within one goal of Duncan Ferguson’s Premier League scoring record for the Blues.
