Everton boss Ronald Koeman says coach Duncan Ferguson is delighted for Romelu Lukaku after scoring in victory over Sunderland.

Koeman says there was no-one happier inside Goodison Park than Ferguson as Lukaku struck to equal his Premier League goalscoring record for Everton.

“Rom went to Duncan and, of course, Duncan knows that Romelu will beat his record," said Koeman. “I think he will be happy when the record is broken because that means Lukaku is scoring and, normally, if he scores goals it gives the team three points.

“He's so strong and if he needs to make that run and it's a battle between him and the defender then he's really strong, he keeps calm in front of the goalkeeper and, maybe he was a little bit lucky, maybe there was a touch off the defender, but you know that type of opportunity he will score."
