LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Romelu Lukaku headed in his 19th goal of the Premier League season on Saturday as Everton beat West Bromwich Albion 3-0 to strengthen its bid to qualify for Europe.
After first-half strikes from Kevin Mirallas and Morgan Schneiderlin, Lukaku met Ross Barkley's cross in the 82nd minute for his seventh goal in his last five matches. The Belgium striker joins Tottenham forward Harry Kane at the top of the league's scoring leaderboard.
With a fifth successive league home win, Everton moved five points behind Liverpool, which is in the fourth Champions League place.
