Koeman calls for greater Lukaku support

Everton travel to Burnley on Saturday buoyed by a draw at Manchester City, but Ronald Koeman wants more help for striker Romelu Lukaku.

Everton boss Ronald Koeman has called on the rest of his attacking players to take some of the goalscoring burden off the shoulders of in-form striker Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgium international has claimed six of the club's last eight league goals, with Kevin Mirallas the only other forward to have scored in the top flight this season.

And while insisting that Lukaku is comfortable with the pressure of being the side's main goal threat, Koeman would like to see the 23-year-old's team-mates, and Yannick Bolasie in particular, find the net more regularly.
