Everton forward Romelu Lukaku showed his compassionate side by comforting a Southampton supporter after his wayward shot struck the fan.
Belgium international Lukaku took it upon himself to climb into the stands after the incident before Everton’s match against Southampton at St Mary’s.
The 22-year-old gave the female fan a lengthy hug before shaking the hand of a male who was sat alongside her.

He also appeared to hand the Saints supporter an Everton shirt before returning back to the pitch to continue his preparations for the Barclays Premier League encounter.
Lukaku’s act of kindness appeared to work wonders as the former Chelsea man netted two goals during the first half of Everton’s 3-0 win at St Mary’s.
A similar incident occurred last season when Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure apologised to a five-year-old girl and her father after his shot struck the unlucky fan during a match against Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road in November.
Toure gave the five-year-old Chloe a signed shirt to apologise and checked on her injury by speaking to her on the same day of the incident.
