The Saints have yielded just one point in their last seven games as Everton piled on the misery thanks to a scintillating piece of play culminating in a round-the-goalkeeper finish from Richarlison.
Last night’s victory could prove to be monumental in Everton’s hunt for European football next season as the result takes the Toffees within three points of the Champions League places.
In a further boost to Evertonians, current champions and arch-rivals Liverpool are now level on points with Carlo Ancelotti’s side in what may prompt ironic internal jeers in many fans.
Although many of his teammates scored higher individual match ratings as per WhoScored, including Gylfi Sigurdsson and Michael Keane, Everton fans nonetheless voted Richarlison as their man of the match for his triumphant finish that ensured maximum points were claimed from Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side.
Richarlison has now scored in three consecutive games, taking his tally to 11 goals and 3 assists in all competitions this season.
Despite some fans questioning Ancelotti’s tactical nous after several players were rested ahead of mid-week football, few would be so quick to question a vital victory.
Lauding Richarlison for his individual impact at Everton, many fans took to Twitter to praise the Brazilian forward…
