# Richarlison named in Crooks’ team of the week

Richarlison has been named in Garth Crooks’ [Team of the Week.](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46090434)

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.
