Richarlison finally kicked his season into gear against Wolves on Sunday, scoring his first two Premier League goals of the season.
While the first came from a defensive mix-up between Wolves defender Conor Coady and goalkeeper Rui Patricio, the second was of the Brazilian’s own making, with the 22-year old rising highest to steer a deep Lucas Digne cross in with a finely taken header.
It was very reminiscent of a Tim Cahill header, with the king of heading the ball having often leapt up like a salmon to meet a whipped cross during his time on Merseyside.
The Australian was quick to praise Richarlison for his goal too, taking to Twitter to praise the Everton forward, particularly for the time of his run.

out jumps the defender and guides the ball beautifully into the corner
