Ogbonna gets on Lukaku’s case

Angelo Ogbonna is on a “stop Lukaku ” mission at Everton tomorrow

Well aware of his record against the Irons  the Italian defender said: “We will need to stop him getting on the scoresheet. I am well aware of his record against us.

“Romelu is a very good player and we all want to stop him. But if our performance is like the one we have shown in the last few games we stand a very good chance of winning the game.”

He told the official site: “Everton have had a clear week and they will be fully prepared, but we cannot have any excuses and go into the game with a lot of confidence.

Playing against people like Lukaku can motivate us even more that we want to stop him. We have to play like we did against Chelsea and Sunderland.

We managed to stop Diego Costa on Wednesday and I hope it will be the same with Lukaku as it would be great for us to come away with another three points.

I still have fond memories of our last victory at Goodison Park and it was an amazing comeback after we went two goals down. Nobody expected us to do that.

It showed once again the character of the team and no-one is prepared to give up and lose. That is so important for us.

We had some big results last season but I thought it was one of our best performances along with the game at home to Arsenal when we were also two goals down.
