Twitter Reacts to Romelu Lukaku's Everton Heroics, Diego Costa's Red Card

Everton are headed to Wembley Stadium after a thrilling 2-0 victory against Chelsea at Goodison Park on Saturday.

The game was often up-and-down, breathless stuff, but it was still deadlocked at 0-0 well into the second half.

Naturally, Romelu Lukaku provided the breakthrough for the hosts with an incredible solo effort. The Belgian made a dizzying run through Chelsea's defence before tucking away the opening goal.

It looked like he could have drawn a penalty had he went down after bouncing off the Chelsea defenders.

Lukaku struck again shortly after, which begged many to bring up the fact Chelsea sold the superstar to Everton.

Normally, all the talk in the aftermath would've centered around Lukaku's heroics, but Diego Costa was sent off for Chelsea after an altercation with Gareth Barry.

Oddly enough, it was the first time the combative frontman had seen red in a Chelsea shirt.

As for Chelsea, they were knocked out of the Champions League in midweek, Saturday saw them out of the FA Cup and their Premier League title defence was over months ago after a miserable start to the season.

Best thing to come out of this for #CFC is that even the Europa League looks off the cards. Can rebuild without Euro distractions next year.
