Richarlison makes Everton goal claim after Brazil World Cup heroics

Brazil forward Richarlison insists his World Cup wonder goal against Serbia on Thursday evening was one of the best of his career, but he's done it before for Everton.

The 25-year-old was given the nod to start up front for the samba stars in their opening group stage match in Qatar, and that faith was duly repaid with a brace from the Tottenham ace, ensuring that the pre-tournament favourites got their campaign off to a solid start.

Richarlison's second goal was one to savour, as he flicked the ball up on his left foot with his back to goal, before swivelling to acrobatically volley it into the net with his right. It was arguably the goal of the tournament so far but the ex- Everton favourite recalled producing something similar from his time in a royal blue shirt at Goodison Park.
