Everton’s striker, Romelu Lukaku, won more than just the match on Saturday as he walked in to the stands to apologize to a woman whom he had accidentally struck with a ball in the English Premier League match against Southampton.




The Belgian international's stray shot struck the woman in the stands and he was apologetic as soon as he saw it happen.



Lukaku proved to be a real challenge for the Southampton defence as the 22-year-old scored twice in the first half- a header followed by a smooth finish- against The Saints. Everton’s reliable goalkeeper, Tim Howard, made four saves during the match.
