Richarlison is finally starting to discover the consistent form of his Goodison Park days after joining Spurs in a £60million move in 2022.

However, the forward made it clear he still holds a flame for the Merseyside club with a restrained reaction to his strike.

Richarlison wheeled away to thank teammate Brennan Johnson for his delicious cross before holding his hand up and acknowledging the Toffees faithful.

The 26-year-old spent four seasons at Everton, scoring 43 league goals and becoming a fan favourite.

Richarlison was a leading figure during the 2021/22 campaign when the club narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League.

His classy gesture on Saturday will ensure his popular reputation at Goodison Park remains in tact, despite the misery inflicted on Sean Dyche‘s men.
