Everton take first-leg lead over Dynamo Kiev

Romelu Lukaku’s late penalty gave Everton a vital lead to take to Dynamo Kiev after the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie.

A bad week for English clubs in Europe seemed to be getting worse when Oleg Gusev swept the Ukrainian side ahead.

The home side had started slowly but Lukaku’s brilliant run teed Steven Naismith up to level before the break.

And the striker converted from the spot after Danilo Silva handled in the area to give the Blues a slender lead.
