Richarlison flare toss being investigated by FA and could face three-match ban

Richarlison could face a three-match ban as the FA investigates the Everton striker for tossing a flare into the Goodison crowd.

The Brazilian handed Frank Lampard's side a lifeline in their relegation fight with a vital three points against Thomas Tuchel's men. Richarlison pounced on Cesar Azpilicueta's error to fire a low strike past Edouard Mendy to secure the 1-0 victory.

But the striker is in hot water with the FA after picking up a lit blue flare and throwing it back into the crowd as he celebrated his goal with an investigation set to be launched by the governing body. The FA confirmed a probe was likely to go ahead when they receive the reports from referee Kevin Friend and Premier League matchday delegates.
