Everton forward Richarlison could be in hot water with the FA after the Brazilian threw a flare back into the Goodison Park crowd following his goal against Chelsea on Sunday. The Toffees picked up a massive three points in the race for Premier League survival, with Richarlison pouncing on a Cesar Azpilicueta mistake to fire home past Edouard Mendy in a 1-0 win for Frank Lampard's side.
However, following the goal, Richarlison tossed a flare thrown on to the pitch into the Goodison Park stands and could now face a three-match ban as the FA looks set to investigate. The FA won't review the video evidence until Tuesday. It means Richarlison could be handed a three-match ban, which would see him miss Everton's games against Leicester, Watford and Brentford.
However, he could also escape with a fine and severe warning, with the three-match ban being the maximum penalty the Brazilian could face. Should he miss those three games, it would be a massive boost for Leeds United. Richarlison has been one of Everton's best players this season, scoring eight times in the Premier League.
