It may have been only 11 minutes of brilliance, but it also showed Romelu Lukaku and Everton could be capable of big things in the Premier League this season.With their star striker finally in form, the Toffees try to extend their fast start Saturday against promoted Middlesbrough at Goodison Park.After scoring 25 goals in all competitions last season, Lukaku was in high demand for a potential high-cost transfer, with rumours flying throughout the summer regarding the 23-year-olds next potential destination.But new manager Ronald Koeman was able to convince the Belgian international to stay put, and Everton (3-1-0) have enjoyed a strong open to the season. They enter this match third in the table, behind only unblemished Manchester City and trailing Chelsea on goals scored.Lukaku had a slow start to the season, with Koeman giving him extra time off after representing Belgium in the European Championship this summer. It took him two-plus matches, but once he opened the scoring on the hour of Evertons 3-0 win Monday at Sunderland, the goals came thick and fast.We know about strikers, they live for scoring, Koeman said at his Thursday news conference. If the team is winning, then Im happy. Lukaku is always a scoring player but we need to support him and give him chances to score.Koeman also played a large hand in the victory by pulling Ross Barkley at halftime in favour of Lukakus compatriot Gerard Deulofeu. His added pace, coupled with the shift of new signing Yannick Bolasie to the wing wreaked all sorts of havoc on Sunderlands back line, resulting in Lukaku recording the fastest road hat trick in Everton history.Im back in business and want to help my teammates as much as I can to reach our objectives, Lukaku told EvertonTV after scoring his first club goals since March 12. In the second half, we made the pitch big and everybody played their positions. We created so many chances and showed what we can do if we exploit the spaces on the pitch.Koeman may also give transfer deadline signing Enner Valencia his Everton debut. The former West Ham forward, who signed for £14.5 million, played the full 90 minutes in both of Ecuadors World Cup qualifying losses last week.Another reason for the Toffees strong start is their defence, with their two goals conceded matching Spurs for fewest in the Premier League. They have not conceded a goal in 351 minutes across all competitions and are trying to record three consecutive shutouts in league play for the first time since Jan. 31-Feb. 7, 2015.Additionally, midfielder Gareth Barry is set to make his 600th Premier League appearance in a career that spans back to his debut with Aston Villa in 1997. He will be just the third player to reach that milestone, joining Ryan Giggs (632) and Frank Lampard (609).Hes still an important player for us because he is a clever player and those type of players will always have respect and be important, Koeman said of the 35-year-old Barry. Its an amazing achievement to reach.In the Premier League for the first time since 2009, Middlesbrough (1-2-1) have enjoyed a solid start and are ninth in the standings entering this match. Boro carried most of the play last weekend against Crystal Palace, but couldnt find an equaliser in the final 43 minutes after Wilfried Zaha scored the decisive goal in a 2-1 home loss to the EaglesIts a good learning curve for us, defender Ben Gibson told the teams official website. If youre not 100 percent full tilt, you will get punished in this league.After a favourable early schedule in terms of opponents -- Stoke City and Sunderland occupy the leagues bottom two rungs while Palace and West Bromwich Albion are in the lower half of the table -- facing Lukaku and Everton represent a huge jump in the quality of opposition.We know Everton are a really good team with a good experienced manager, Middlesbrough gaffer Aitor Karanka said at his news conference. They are unbeaten and have 10 points so its a game we have to be at 100 percent if we want to compete.Everton have no injury concerns, while Karanka is sweating on the availability of Jordan Rhodes (knee) and Christian Stuani (groin). Stuani has two of Boros four goals, scoring both in their win over Sunderland on Aug. 21.The teams met last season in the fifth round of the League Cup, with Deulofeu and Lukaku scoring eight minutes apart to power Everton to a 2-0 victory at Riverside Stadium. The Toffees are unbeaten in their last seven (5-2-0) in all competitions over Boro since a 2-1 defeat in 2006.Middlesbrough are winless in their last 10 (0-4-6) trips to Goodison Park since a 2-0 triumph in 2000.
