Romelu Lukaku may be just 23 years old, but he's already one of the world's best goalscorers. Lukaku added another to his tally against Tottenham on Sunday, taking him to 61 Premier League goals for Everton, making him the Toffees' all-time scorer in the competition.

Lukaku's goal in the 81st minute halved Everton's deficit, sparking a mad scramble in the dying minutes of the match. Harry Kane emerged as the hero for Tottenham as his opening brace held up, and Spurs ran out 3-2 winners, but Lukaku's goal further underlined just how important he is to Everton, and how much of a force he's been this season.

The goal itself, which took him past Duncan Ferguson on 60 goals, is a perfect encapsulation of Lukaku's burgeoning strengths. He's always been known as a physically strong player, but as he's matured, his off-the-ball movement, first touch, and right foot have all improved, and he puts it all together for this goal.

Lukaku just keeps getting better, and that's scary for whoever has to come up against him.
