1. Romelu Lukaku (9) 2. Seamus Coleman (3) 3. Ross Barkley (2) 4. Gareth Barry (2)That's right, only Romelu Lukaku has scored more than Seamus Coleman. https://www.instagram.com/p/BN-LaUzhm-X/?taken-by=sportsjoedotie The Irish captain's superb header to equalise for the Toffees against Arsenal summed up the kind of season he is having. In 13 Premier League games, he's now hit the net three times and his latest on Tuesday night was taken like a seasoned striker. Leighton Baines cuts onto his right boot and he can see the Donegal man driving into the box.
Coleman climbs highest in the area.
His header is deft and glorious.
His celebration is pure Coleman-esque angered passion.
Coleman is 28 years of age now. He's playing with the maturity of a man who has been a Premier League defender for 12 years.
He's leading with the drive and aggression of a soldier who refuses to be bested and, for club and country, his defensive work is downright relentless. His attacking stats? Well, only Romelu Lukaku can claim to better them.
He's a footballer playing at the very peak of his powers and a man who has forced Manchester United fans to fall over themselves at the thought of his signature to Old Trafford.
And why the hell not? Seamus Coleman is ready for the next step - the last step. His whole life has been leading to the very top.
