Legendary Godfather

Before this game, Lukaku was very crazy and didn't take Crystal Palace seriously at all.

Obviously, in his opinion, Lukaku must win this game.

This game is where Lukaku kills everyone.

Because he knew that Ignacio would not be in the starting lineup in this game.

Even Ignacio was not included in Crystal Palace's squad for this game. Therefore, Lukaku feels that no one is better than him in this game. He can lead Everton to easily defeat Crystal Palace.

Moreover, in this game, Lukaku was able to score Crystal Palace's goal many times.

Lukaku is confident.

And Everton fans are also like this, because Crystal Palace did not play the main players in this game. If all the players were substituted, Everton would really not be afraid of the Crystal Palace team.

Just as Lukaku said "no one can stop him from scoring in this game", no one can stop their Everton team from winning in this game.

They could win this game if Everton didn't score, and they could also reverse Crystal Palace with a total score and successfully reach the final of this season's EFL Cup.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

As soon as Everton came up, they turned away and attacked like crazy.

Lukaku was also in very good shape in today's game. He jumped up and down as soon as he started, frequently attacking the Crystal Palace defense and threatening the Crystal Palace goal.

Only five minutes into the game, Lukaku actually got a very good opportunity.

Lukaku received a precise through ball from midfielder Barkley in the penalty area. He was a bit of a solo player. The Everton fans were extremely excited, but Lukaku's close-range volley was blocked by Rudiger's stretched leg.

Lukaku was shocked and immediately turned to look at Rudiger.

He didn't expect that the ball could be blocked, and was very shocked.

Rudiger didn't look at him at all, but turned directly to direct the players to defend.

Lukaku stared at Rudiger. How dare this guy ruin my good deeds? Let's see how I beat you today.

Corner kick, Everton won a corner kick.

Barkley's arc passed the football into the penalty area. The ball was very fast and the opportunity was good.

The sharp-eyed Lukaku rushed over and slammed the football with his head.

Crystal Palace fans are very nervous and worried, it's very dangerous.

Although Crystal Palace fans are not happy with Lukaku now, they have to admit that Lukaku is still very strong and this is very dangerous.

Even some Crystal Palace fans couldn't stand it.

Danger!

The Everton fans who came from afar screamed with excitement, but their cheers stopped abruptly the next moment.

Because Lukaku's football was once again destroyed by Rudiger.

Lukaku's eyes widened and he stared at Rudiger in disbelief.

However, Rudigree turned around and left without Lukaku.

Lukaku's face turned green at this time. He was targeted in this game! This Rudiger's mission must be to keep an eye on himself.

Damn it, this Chinese bastard really deserves to die.

Corner kick, Everton continues to take corner kicks.

This time Barkley drove the football directly to the forward point, and it was no longer Lukaku who grabbed the football, but Ferdinand. Ferdinand pushed the football out of the penalty area. The Crystal Palace players outside the penalty area began to counterattack, but the effect was not very good.

To be honest, Crystal Palace didn't play well in this game.

Especially in terms of counterattack, it is a bit restricted by Everton.

However, Everton's offense did not perform well. This guy Lukaku seems to be very active, performs well, and has several good opportunities. But there are really few opportunities to truly threaten the Crystal Palace goal.

This guy Lukaku was completely manipulated by Rudiger.

Now this guy Lukaku is still sulking.

He really doesn't know where this guy Rudiger came from, and he can actually restrain him? He was very angry and it was suitable for Rudiger to get more aggressive.

Lukaku attacked Rudiger crazily, but the effect was very unsatisfactory.

Seeing this, Everton fans were very anxious. What's the rivalry between you and Rudiger? You are now ready to attack the Crystal Palace goal and score a goal.

It's a pity that Lukaku worked very hard throughout the first half of the game, trying hard to compete with Rudiger, but in the end he was unable to break through the Crystal Palace goal.

To be honest, Everton fans are very dissatisfied.

How could it be like this?

Everton fans chanted Lukaku's name in unison, hoping that Lukaku could get serious and stop competing with Rudiger in the second half of the game and attack the Crystal Palace goal.

Everton fans still have very high expectations for Lukaku.

At this time, Everton desperately needs Lukaku to attack.

During the halftime break, Everton's head coach naturally reminded Lukaku that he wanted Lukaku to take on more responsibilities in the second half and strive to win the game.

Everton needs to score, and they need Lukaku to score!

Then at the beginning of the second half, Barkley was the first to finish the shot!

Barkley's long shot from the front of the penalty area was much more effective than Lukaku's chance in the first half, and the ball flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal. When he saw the football about to fly into the goal, Alisson flew out from the side in front of the goal and shot the football out with one palm.

Bottom line.

Everton fans feel very sorry.

This should be the best chance in this game so far, what a pity.

To be honest, Everton fans are very disappointed with Lukaku's performance at this time. You clamored so loudly before the game, and we are full of endless expectations for you. How can you behave so badly now? Lukaku, you have to be fierce.

Inside the stadium, Everton continued to attack, but at this time the ball was intercepted by Crystal Palace.

Fight back!

In the 21st minute of the second half, Crystal Palace created opportunities to counterattack one after another.

The pass from Witsel in the midfield rolled accurately to the feet of Perisic on the wing, and then Perisic immediately advanced with the ball at high speed and swarmed crazily towards the Everton goal.

The pace is very fast and Everton is very dangerous.

At this moment, Perisic from the wing made a direct pass, and an arc passed the football into Everton's penalty area.

Balotelli, who rushed up in the penalty area, dared to get ahead of the opponent's central defender Jagielka, fell to the ground and shot, and with a bang, the football shot quickly towards the lower right corner of the goal.

The ball was so fast that the goalkeeper in front of the goal couldn't react in time, and the football rolled into Everton's goal.

One to zero, Crystal Palace took the lead.

Seeing this, the Everton fans naturally gave up. They were very unhappy and madly criticized the Everton players. What are you doing? Can't even beat Crystal Palace's substitute players?

Yes, Everton fans are very disappointed.

Of course, they are even more disappointed with Lukaku.

This guy Lukaku showed full confidence before the game, thinking that he would definitely be able to score the Crystal Palace goal. But what about now? Lukaku's performance was very disappointing. The performance in the first half of the game was not very good, but he was still a threat.

And now? This guy Lukaku is not even a threat.

Everton fans are very disappointed and very painful. They definitely cannot accept such a result. They are all calling for the Everton players to cheer and strive to win this game.

Of course, Everton fans are also cheering for Lukaku, and they also hope that Lukaku can perform better.

Lukaku can still threaten Crystal Palace's goal.

However, Lukaku has not scored yet, which is the most uncomfortable thing for Everton fans.

Lukaku, come on!

In the stadium, Lukaku was also very frustrated. He stared at Rudiger. After the start of the second half, Rudiger stuck to him like candy. He really didn't have many chances.

However, Lukaku will not just admit defeat.

The game restarted, and Lukaku also stepped up his running, frantically attacking the Crystal Palace penalty area. But to be honest, the effect is still not very ideal. This guy Rudiger seems to be very familiar with his playing style, and he can always get stuck in the most critical position, making Lukaku very uncomfortable.

And in the 22nd minute of the second half of the game. Lukaku also elbowed Rudiger a little irritably and received a yellow card.

It seems that Lukaku was beaten by Rudiger.

Crystal Palace fans are very satisfied and very happy. If Lukaku didn't perform well in this game, Crystal Palace would have won this game.

The Crystal Palace fans shouted wildly and cheered for their team.

Crystal Palace fans all felt that Crystal Palace would definitely win this game.

However, it's clear that Everton fans don't think so. Everton fans are still cheering for their team. They encourage the Iron Horse players. They believe they still have a chance in this game.

Everton must win this game.

On the court, Lukaku was very active and finally got another good opportunity at this time.

More importantly, this time Lukaku got rid of Rudiger, which was an excellent opportunity. The Everton fans at the scene jumped up and stared at Lukaku in the stadium. The goal they gathered was bound to be scored.

With a bang, Lukaku shot with a kick without delay.

The football shot quickly towards the Crystal Palace goal.

Then the football was directly held in the arms of Crystal Palace goalkeeper Alisson.

Lukaku still failed to break through the Crystal Palace goal, and Alisson kept a clean sheet.

Everton fans were a little desperate when they saw this.

Are Crystal Palace really invincible?

The Everton players in the stadium don't think so. They are still actively working hard and attacking crazily. They also created some good opportunities, and even Lukaku had an opportunity to hit an empty goal. But this guy Lukaku actually kicked the football, and the football missed the far post and flew out of the baseline.

When seeing this, all Everton fans were desperate.

In this game, Everton basically has no hope.

This guy Lukaku was a little dumbfounded and couldn't believe that this was his own shot.

The Everton fans at the scene did not believe Lukaku. Such an empty goal could not be scored. Can Lukaku still break through the Crystal Palace goal? Everton fans didn't believe it.

Sure enough, although Lukaku worked very hard in the subsequent games, he was ultimately unable to break through the Crystal Palace goal.

Crystal Palace defeated Everton 1-0 and won 3-0 on aggregate, successfully reaching the 2015-2016 EFL Cup final.
