Everton 2-1 Southampton: 5 Hits and Flops 

#1 Hit: Richarlison

Heads, I score: Richarlison leaps highest to double Everton's lead

£40m? What a waste of money. We're only two games into the new Premier League season and already, Richarlison is silencing his critics. He leads the league's top goalscorers chart with three already and had another eventful experience here during his home debut on Merseyside.

He was relatively quiet and found himself on the periphery for sustained periods early in both halves, but came alive when his attacking influence was needed most. Excellent attack positioning saw him rise highest and double the Toffees' lead with a well-taken header - leaving Alex McCarthy helpless.

Thankfully, he was still on the pitch at the time as just minutes beforehand, he suffered an innocuous groin strain after landing awkwardly in a battle for possession.

Richarlison went to ground on numerous occasions, though was okay to continue

It's nothing new for the 21-year-old, whose pain threshold appears remarkably low for a Premier League player, but he understands how opposing defenders often feel inclined to foul in order to halt him.

Two key passes, two completed dribbles, two tackles, two interceptions, four clearances and four aerial duels won, it certainly was a busy afternoon for the Brazilian - who relishes contributing off-the-ball just as much as with it at his feet.

He'll need to work on improving his passing accuracy over both short and longer distances, perhaps trusting his teammates more at times too as decision-making can still frustrate, but it was an impressive display and one that will help Everton fans warm to him very quickly indeed.
