Romelu Lukaku fired an 11-minute hat trick to end his 11-game Premier League scoring drought in style as Everton beat Sunderland 3-0 on Monday. The Belgium striker struck with 60th and 68th-minute headers and then completed his hat trick with 19 minutes remaining at the Stadium of Light to condemn former Toffees boss David Moyes to a third defeat in four matches this season. Sunderland might have taken a 10th-minute lead when Adnan Januzaj's shot was blocked and looped perfectly into the path of Jermain Defoe, who sent his first-time volley over the bar.
