Everton seized a massive advantage in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie by beating Young Boys 4-1 in Switzerland with Romelu Lukaku hitting a hat-trick.

Everton attacked from the outset and, even with only 10 minutes gone, Guillaume Hoarau's excellent opening goal for the hosts came
against the run of play, with Roberto Martinez's men hitting back before too long.

A header from Lukaku evened things up in the 24th minute before Seamus Coleman secured the lead moments later by finishing off a
superb team move.

Despite suggestions of offside, Lukaku broke through the defence shortly before half-time to steal a second and the Belgian sealed his
treble on the hour by driving down the left channel and finishing.

Everton faced a scare moments afterwards when John Stones was shown a red card for bringing down Hoarau in the penalty area but
the striker smashed the resulting spot kick well over the bar and Roberto Martinez's men held out thereafter.

The result meant that Young Boys' seven-match winning streak in home European games was brought to an end, putting Everton in firm
control of the tie.
