Ademola Lookman still buzzing after Everton goal on debut

Ademola Lookman is still buzzing after his goal on debut in Everton's rout of Manchester City.

It was enough to suggest the giant step up from League One to the top flight is another examination the former Charlton Athletic forward is well equipped to pass.

“It has sunk in but some times when I'm at home sitting on my bed I just go into a daze and just think about it again and again, and the goosebumps come back," he told evertonfc.com.

“Just the sounds in the stadium and just how loud it was. Even when I was warming up, I was just thinking, 'Wow, this is like a fortress'. And when we scored our third goal, when Tom scored, the fans went crazy. That roar actually hurt my ear - that's how loud it was. For my goal, I saw the net ripple and just ran off to celebrate but, after that, it's all a blur.

“I remember walking down into the dressing room after and all the lads gathering round. There was a big round of applause for me and Tom and everyone just congratulated me. To come on for your debut and then score is a big achievement and that's what makes it so hard to put into words, even now. I was amazed, over the moon, delighted - all of those emotions."
