Romelu Lukaku celebrates pulling one back for Everton
ROMELU LUKAKU came back to haunt his former club with a brace to cap a stunning comeback at the Hawthorns.
 
Lukaku struck to pull a goal back after the hosts raced into a two goal lead.
Arouna Kone levelled and the former Baggie grabbed a late winner.
 
It looked like the visitors would leave with nothing after Saido Berahino continued to build bridges with the Baggies faithful.
The striker, who tried to force a move to Tottenham in the summer, latched onto James Morrison's fine pass before calmly slotting past Tim Howard four minutes before the break.
