Lille vs Everton review: Everton secure point in overshadowed game
Everton secured a point in France on Thursday night after a hard fought game against Eden Hazard's former side, Lille. The game has unfortunately been overshadowed by events before the game in the city of Lille, with two Everton fans being taken to hospital on Wednesday night following an attack by Lille ultras. On the pitch, the game seems to be quite evenly contested, with Lille having a few early drives through the centre of Everton's defence and Liverpool's Origi (on loan at Lille) causing Baines some cause for concern. Samuel Eto'o made Everton get a foothold in the game mid-way through the second half with displays of skill that has seen him win the Champions league three times. The big turning point however was the introduction of Romelu Lukaku. Having had a mixed start to the season, including three Primer league goals, Lukaku added that extra firepower that Everton needed but ultimately the score line reflected the feel of the game, as no side really deserved to take all three points.
Huge credit to Everton fans as nearly 10,000 fans turned up to support the toffees on a night in which they had claimed their position at the top of Group H after three matchdays.
