Martinez: Rom isn’t match fit yet but 3 goals is good
Everton manager Roberto Martinez has praised record signing Romelu Lukaku saying that although the big Belgian isn’t yet fit, that 3 goals is very good for this stage of the season.
The £28m record signing from Chelsea scored in Evertons 3-0 demolition of Aston Villa and Martinez says that his goal came of all the good work he put in during the match.
“Goals are always important for strikers,” said Martinez. “That’s his third goal in the league and that’s a good number at this stage. But more than anything, I thought it was a really powerful performance from Rom.
“I’ve previously said that I don’t think he’s fully match fit yet and that’s going to come.
“But I thought with the intent he had – he looked powerful, he looked very strong – he was a dangerous focal point for us and that’s really pleasing.
“The goal is a consequence of his good work.”
