Richarlison has been pushed to make a surprise return to Everton this summer if the club avoids relegation. Former Toffees striker Victor Anichebe has appealed to the Brazilian on social media. Last summer, Richarlison left Everton to join Tottenham for a cost of up to £60 million. It ended a four-year spell on Merseyside.
He admitted it was a difficult decision to quit a club he cared deeply about. Could he make a stunning return at Goodison Park? Anichebe sincerely hopes so. Everton stunned Brighton 5-1 on Monday, achieving one of the season’s most unexpected victories. Richarlison celebrated his previous team’s crucial win by leaving a hands-up emoji message on Everton’s official Instagram account following the game. Anichebe grabbed the opportunity to convey a message to the 25-year-old, encouraging him to ‘do a Steven Pienaar’.
Everton fans praise Richarlison’s response after scoring a sensational double on his return to Goodison Park Everton fans thanked Tottenham star Richarlison after he apologised for scoring a sensational double in the 2-2 draw at Goodison Park. The Brazilian forward was part of the Tottenham team that traveled to Merseyside on Saturday lunchtime, hoping to extend his incredible goal-scoring streak.
Richarlison opened the goal in just four minutes, with an instinctive left-footed effort that sent the ball into the roof of Jordan Pickford’s net. Richarlison whirled away as if to rejoice, but he suddenly remembered where he was and stood motionless with a straight face as his Tottenham teammates surrounded him with congratulations. He appeared to apologise to the Everton supporters behind the goal, who welcomed his respectful gesture.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin got one back for the Toffees, but the Brazilian star was not going to be overshadowed on his return to his former club. Richarlison then scored again shortly before halftime, looping a right-footed effort past Pickford, prompting him to conceal his face in front of the Everton fans. That was Richarlison’s eighth Premier League goal in eight outings for Ange Postecoglou’s team. With that streak, he currently has more top-flight goals than Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli combined.
Richarlison was with the Toffees for four years, helping them avoid relegation in the 2021/22 season, before joining Tottenham for a cost of up to £60 million that summer. It wasn’t the 26-year-old’s first time paying his respects to Everton, having already apologized to their fans after scoring against them in the reverse meeting in north London earlier this season.
Richarlison’s double appeared to have secured Tottenham a critical three points, but Jarrad Branthwaite’s late equaliser meant that the game ended 2-2.
