# Virals: Everton Ace Richarlison Makes History with Hattrick

Everton star Richarlison continued his goalscoring heroics in a Brazil shirt as he bagged a hattrick in [Brazil’s Tokyo 2020 Olympics opener](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/olympics/57916292) against Germany.

The versatile Everton star was one of three overaged players allowed to be called into the national team setup, with 38-year-old former Barcelona ace Dani Alves [captaining the side.](https://www.skysports.com/live-blog/15234/12358749/tokyo-2020-build-up-live)

Impressively, all three goal-bound strikes from the forward came in the first half of the game.

As per OptaJoe, Richarlison’s hat-trick for Brazil against Germany is the first ever scored by a Premier League player at the Olympic games in a history-making feat for the Toffees hitman.

The 24-year-old poached on his own rebounded shot following a clever break past German lies for his first goal, before a bullet header at the near post delivered a brace.

An impressive curled effort from just within the box completed a perfect hattrick for the ex-Watford prodigy.

An impressive all-action display from Richarlison is not to be scoffed at, and the history-making achievement renders him as a fine ambassador for the club.

Everton fans will be keenly hoping such scintillating scoring form is carried over into the reign of Rafa Benitez, who [reportedly backed Richarlison](https://tbrfootball.com/report-benitez-has-already-spoken-to-24-year-old-everton-star-has-now-made-important-decision/)to go to the Olympics and potentially miss the start of the season.
