The goal scored by the now-Inter forward was one of 87 goals which he scored across 166 appearances during his time at Goodison Park (per Transfermarkt).
With the Belgian’s record clearly endearing himself to Everton fans, supporters continued to gush after the club shared the footage to social media (per Everton).

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from these Everton fans, they clearly loved the footage of the goal scored by their former striker.
If there is another thing for certain, it is that the Goodison Park faithful would love the man who bagged 116 goal involvements in 166 appearances (per Transfermarkt) to return to Merseyside one day.
