Tottenham forward Richarlison has pledged his support to former club Everton in the ongoing scrap against Premier League relegation this season.
Despite their comeback draw against Leicester City on Monday night, the Blues remain in the bottom three. However, they are still only one point from safety with four matches remaining and their performance at the King Power Stadium was enough to offer supporters encouragement.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (pen) and Alex Iwobi were on target for Everton as they, initially, went 1-0 up before going 2-1 down. Jordan Pickford saved an important penalty from James Maddison at that stage - after goals from Caglar Soyuncu and experienced frontman Jamie Vardy.

Overall, it was a decent point for the Toffees and one which might be telling for them this season. It certainly impressed their former player as he responded to the result on social media.
Richarlison, incidentally, returned to Merseyside on Sunday afternoon with Tottenham as they were defeated 4-3 by Liverpool in a pulsating showdown. Diogo Jota grabbed a dramatic winner in that match after the Brazil international thought he had earned Tottenham a share of the spoils with a strike in added time.

Settling down enough to divert his attention to Everton on Monday night, Richarlison posted a comment on Instagram after former Everton teammate Iwobi sent out a message on the platform. Uploading some images after his goal, Iwobi said: "Errors made but the support stayed, appreciate the love. We go again."
Richarlison, who spent four seasons at Goodison Park before a €58m transfer to Tottenham last summer, was among the first to reply. He said: "Fighting every game and keep going."
Having struggled for goals since leaving Everton, Richarlison finally opened his Premier League account for his new club at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. However, it proved to be in a losing cause.
