VIDEO: Gerard Deulofeu’s through ball from midfield meets Romelu Lukaku for Everton’s first goal

In a near perfect play, Gerard Deulofeu’s sublime through ball going from the midfield like to the 18 yard line to the foot of Romelu Lukaku resulted in Everton’s first goal of the day and equalized against West Ham.

As you can see in the video, there is a legitimate case for offside on Lukaku but the goal stood. The goal itself wasn’t that special (pretty good finish), but Deulofeu’s through ball was the stuff of brilliance.
