Richarlison delighted to be off the mark at Everton

Richarlison is delighted to be already off the mark at Everton.

The winger scored twice past Wolves on his debut last weekend following a £35m summer switch from Watford, where he also worked with the Portuguese manager.

“My relationship with the coach is very important," Richarlison told the club website. “He gives me a lot of freedom on the pitch. I know I have my responsibilities, but I also know what I do best.

“I know I have the confidence of the coach.

“I am very happy to score twice. It is the first time in my career that I have received the man of the match award. I am very happy for my teammates as well that we could take a point back to Liverpool.

“When I came to Everton I said that I will give everything on the pitch for this shirt. That is what I am going to do.

“Scoring two goals was important in the first game but I have to thank my teammates. They helped me to do this."
