Lukaku: I must be a serial killer in attack

Romelu Lukaku ended his goal drought with a hat trick against Sunderland, but the Everton star says he needs more of a killer instinct.

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku says he must adopt a "serial killer" instinct in the final third to build on his hat trick against Sunderland.

The Belgium international had gone 1,139 minutes without a competitive goal for the club before he nodded in Idrissa Gueye's cross in the second half at the Stadium of Light on Monday.

Lukaku completed his treble in just 11 minutes, heading in Yannick Bolasie's delivery before slotting past Jordan Pickford on the break as Ronald Koeman's side sealed a resounding 3-0 win to move third in the Premier League.
