Richarlison has been named in Garth Crooks’ Team of the Week.
The BBC Sport analyst was impressed with Richarlison’s performance against Brighton on Saturday, where the Brazilian scored twice in a 3-1 victory.
A well-taken first goal was followed with a simply superb second, Richarlison’s man-of-the-match award was a forgone conclusion.
The 21-year-old now has six goals in nine Premier League appearances so far this season.
Of Richarlison’s showing, Crooks said:
Richarlison is clearly loving it at Goodison Park. His first goal against Brighton was clinical, and his second majestic. He went around Lewis Dunk as though he wasn’t there.
The Brazilian is becoming the sort of player he struggled to become at Watford.
Richarlison was a good player at a good club at Vicarage Road. He’s fast becoming a star at a big club at Everton.
The £40 million fee coughed up for the forward led to some raised eyebrows in parts of the footballing punditry superstructure, but efforts like that on Saturday will go a long way to making those talking heads eat their words.
