Everton boss Roberto Martinez revealed Romleu Lukaku played through the pain barrier for their 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
The Blues boss was full of praise for the big Belgian as he played 76 minutes with a toe problem, setting up Steven Naismith's goal in the 2-2 draw.
Martinez told evertonfc.com: "Romelu has been struggling with a knock on his toe and he did incredibly well to be available today.
"The fans need to know and it is an example of our football Club that he did everything to be available for the game to help the players.
"To last over 70 minutes was an incredible gesture and he was terrific for Naismith's goal - I couldn't be prouder of his attitude and the way he represented our Club today.
"I don't think he deserves to end today's game with only one point rather than three, but that approach will give us a lot over the course of the season."
