EUROPA LEAGUE – RO32: LUKAKU TREBLE GIVES EVERTON COMFORTABLE WIN AT YOUNG BOYS


Everton have given themselves every chance of moving through to the Europa League Round of 16 with a 4-1 win over Young Boys on Thursday night.
Romelu Lukaku struck a hat-trick as the Toffees came from behind to beat the Swiss side in Bern to all but book their berth in the next phase of Europe’s second tier club competition.
Guillaume Hoarau gave Young Boys the lead in the 10th minute but Roberto Martinez’s side struck back less than 15 minutes later through Lukaku who headed home Gareth Barry’s cross.
Seamus Coleman had the visitors ahead in the 28th minute when glancing in Steven Naismith’s pass before Lukaku grabbed a second six minutes before the break.
The Belgian striker completed his treble just before the hour-mark with a cool lofted finish to give Everton a three-goal lead before John Stoneswas sent off for bringing Hoarau down in the area only for the Frenchman to fire over the bar from the penalty spot.
In the end, however, it was an impressive performance from the Merseysiders who will be feeling confident going into the return bout at Goodison Park next week.

Chelsea won't sign new players - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea will make no signings in the January transfer window, says manager Jose Mourinho. The team has enough capable and balanced players to even out in the coming competitions. The Blues have six matches before January 1, with the first starting today against Hull City. Mourinho plans to rest his senior players for this Yuletide season, saying he is doubtful any one player should appear in all the six matches. The manager has granted his European-based players a two-day 'holiday' to rest and 'have a nice dinner with their families'. The former Real Madrid manager's side meets Hull City in the Premier league today. Petr Cech will replace injured skipper goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the Hull City face-off.
