Lookman was a late substitute as Everton were coasting to a 3-0 win over Manchester City, but then a poor clearance from John Stones cannoned off Seamus Coleman and gave the former Charlton striker his chance.
A deft first touch steadied the ball for him to slide under Claudio Bravo in the City goal and cap off what must have been a whirlwind week for the teenager by sealing a 4-0 win.

“It is amazing, a great feeling,” he said.
“I’m delighted to have been able to come on, help the team and score my first Premier League goal. It was great to just finish the day off.
“The gaffer said I should play behind Romelu Lukaku and I was lucky to anticipate the ball.
“Everything has been really good since I have been here. To be around players that I grew up watching and learn off them every day is great.”
Meanwhile, Lookman says he dreams of playing for Real Madrid or Barcelona after needing just a matter of minutes to introduce himself to Everton fans on his debut against Man City.
Ronald Koeman has faith the in the England under-20 international having paid Charlton £11m for his services.
And in an interview prior to the match against City, Lookman admitted he won’t be resting on his laurels despite earning a move to the Premier League.
“One day I want to win trophies. Of course I want to play at the highest level – whether it be in England or Spain, I want to be at the top,” Lookman told The Sun.
“You have teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid.
“As a kid, I dreamed of playing for one of those teams and I suppose Manchester United.”
