Everton star sends message to team-mates after Crystal Palace draw at Goodison Park
ROMELU LUKAKU continued his scoring streak to deny Crystal Palace, but warned Everton they need to be more ruthless if they are to realise their ambitions of qualifying for the Champions League.
The Everton striker scored for the sixth successive game and claimed his 14th goal in all competitions in the 81st minute to cancel out Scott Dann's header in the closing stages of a dramatic contest.
It was Lukaku's 50th goal for the club on his 100th appearance and the 1-1 stalemate came with Everton having been denied by the woodwork three times.
"Obviously we felt we should have had three points," said Lukaku. "We had a lot of chances, we were unlucky with the post, the cross-bar and they scored out of the blue.
Dann had headed Palace into a 76th minute advantage and Pardew said: "The pull on the shirt I clear I thought was.
"The second one the guy has gone to ground and clipped Mutch in the box. I can't understand from 12 yards away how not given it.
"Sometimes they go for you, but I can't moan about the result because in my opinion it was two great teams with great commitment and effort.
"It was what the Premier League is all about."
