Richarlison strikes again as Everton sink Southampton
Everton newcomer Richarlison scored his third goal in two matches to secure a win for the Toffees over Southampton in his debut at Goodison Park.
Brazilian winger Richarlison continued his sparkling start to the season with his third goal in two games as Everton beat Southampton 2-1 in Marco Silva's first game in charge at Goodison Park.
The performance, as much as the scoreline, will have impressed Everton's supporters, who saw former Saint Theo Walcott dink the ball over the keeper after a clever free kick between Leighton Baines and Morgan Schneiderlin.
Although Schneiderlin soon went off injured, Everton added a second when Richarlison headed home Walcott's cross.
Southampton struggled to control the Brazilian, who was hacked down on several occasions, with the visitors receiving five yellow cards.
But they responded well after the interval with Danny Ings, who had earlier been denied by an excellent Jordan Pickford save, tapping home from four yards for his first goal for the club on his first start.
At the other end, Walcott's afternoon could have been even better but he had a goal ruled out for offside and spurned a late chance when he was clean through on goal.
