Richarlison has now scored in each of his last four Premier League games

Richarlison keeps on scoring

It’s been a brilliant few weeks for Richarlison, the Brazilian has scored in his past four consecutive games, with vital goals against Liverpool, Southampton and West Brom. This puts Richarlison’s season total to six, which may be low for his standards, but it’s clear to all Evertonians that Richarlison is back on track and back to his best.

The 23-year old has struggled in certain parts of the season, he’s vital to the way Everton play, but he was rarely getting on the scoresheet and having those fantastic games we’d seen him have in his previous few seasons for the Toffees, with some fans believing he’d taken a back seat due to the production of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and James Rodriguez, but with the Colombian out Richarlison has gotten back to his best in a more central role.

Richarlison was a pest for the West Brom defence throughout the game, of course he scored a great header to give the Toffees the lead, but he also had four of his shots blocked, proving the Brazilian can have that deadly goalscoring instinct when the team needs it. He also completed two dribbles and didn’t stop running.
