Roberto Martinez calls Romelu Lukaku "fantastic" after Europa League goal haul

Everton manager Roberto Martinez praises Romelu Lukaku after the Belgian striker scores five goals in two Europa League games against Young Boys.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has singled out Romelu Lukaku for praise after the Toffees stormed into the last 16 of the Europa League.

The Belgian striker scored a brace against Young Boys on Thursday night, helping his side to a 3-1 win on the night.

His two goals in the second leg are in addition to his hat-trick a week ago, as the Merseyside outfit cantered to a 4-1 first-leg victory against the Swiss side for an impressive 7-2 win on aggregate.

Martinez told BBC Sport after the game: "We've seen what a good team Young Boys are. They had a real attacking attitude and we saw a lot of chances.

"To score seven goals in two games is a great achievement - Romelu Lukaku has been creating a huge amount of chances, his goal scoring quality is fantastic and to score five goals is fantastic. His work rate was also very pleasing."

The draw for the last 16 of the Europa League takes place on Friday afternoon, with Everton the last remaining English team in the competition.
