Deadly Gerard Deulofeu may be playing his way bank to Barcelona

Everton 4 Aston Villa 0

The 21-year-old Catalan winger was the pick of an impressive Everton crop as Roberto Martinez’s side raced into a four-goal lead inside an hour against a Villa team that is surely destined to end the campaign in the bottom three, regardless of the recent appointment of French coach Remi Garde.

But even allowing for the appalling quality of the opposition, this was a devastating performance from Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku, who each claimed two goals, and the creative and virtually unplayable Deulofeu.
