Romelu Lukaku declares he is 'back in business' with Everton after Sunderland hat-trick

Romelu Lukaku is confident his season is now up and running after blasting his way back into goalscoring form with a match-winning hat-trick at Sunderland.

The Belgium international had gone 1,139 minutes without a Premier League goal - a run stretching back to March - when he struck for the first time at the Stadium of Light on his way to an 11-minute treble in Everton's 3-0 win on Monday night.

Now the 23-year-old is hoping that impressive showing is just the start, telling Everton TV: 'I am back in business now. Physically I needed one more week (before the international break) but I'm happy, I've got the goals flowing now.
