The 2014-15 campaign was a season of unfulfilled promise for Everton as The Toffees finished a disappointing 11th in the Premier League, despite the club-record signing of Romelu Lukaku. The season was defined by a strong, memorable run in the Europa League, which saw them top their group, though a 5-2 defeat to Dynamo Kyiv ended their European adventure in the Round of 16. Lukaku was the top league scorer with 10 goals (20 overall), proving his value in a turbulent year that saw the team flirt with relegation before a late-season surge secured mid-table safety.
