Romelu Lukaku was delighted with his goal in Everton's draw against FA Cup opponents West Ham United.

The Belgium star is determined to fire Everton up the table and still hopes they can lift the FA Cup or Europa League this season.

"After two games on the bench, I knew it was time to react," said Lukaku.

"I wanted to show the manager how he can count on me. I wanted to show it was just a temporary thing, and now I am ready to move on and push myself to the limit.

"I want to win silverware, I want to end up as high as we can in the league and we have five months to do that. I just want to play my best football now.

"It's been difficult but it's something you all have to go through as a footballer. I just had to stay calm and focused, knowing my time would come.

"I've been through a period like this before in my first year at Anderlecht.

"I was a 16-year-old and I went 10 games without scoring a goal, although I still won the league that season.

"So I knew that I needed to stay focused and not worry about anything off the pitch because I would come through it again."
