Everton boss Roberto Martinez has praised the all-round qualities of striker Romelu Lukaku.

Martinez was speaking following Everton's 2-1 victory against Southampton in the Premier League, in which Lukaku fired the Blues to three points with a second-half strike after Gaston Ramirez had cancelled out Seamus Coleman's early opener.

"From the outside, yes, you are going to judge a striker by his goalscoring ability and the numbers. But for me, if he scores goals, great - but it is a bonus," Martinez told reporters.

"I judge him in terms of all the aspects. I thought he was magnificent against Swansea without scoring. I couldn't be happier with his finish today, but I think that is an add-on.

"You want strikers to score goals, but in the same way, he attracts two or three opposition players at the moment, so it is understandable that other players get that stage - players like Seamus Coleman, who gets into that position really well and takes advantage of it."

The result sees Everton sitting in fourth position in the Premier League table.
