Watford boss Silva delighted with Richarlison goalscoring performance

Watford boss Marco Silva was delighted with Richarlison's goalscoring performance in victory over Bournemouth.

The 20-year-old Brazilian winger lit up the Hornets' display against Bournemouth, giving Charlie Daniels and Adam Smith, both deployed to shut him out by Eddie Howe to precious little effect, afternoons they will want to forget.

"I'm happy, of course," he said. "I don't like to talk about individuals too much. I know him very well and we've analysed him for a month and a half before signing him.

"He's a talent, it's easy to understand that - but he's not only a talent. He comes to work hard everyday.

"We need to be calm with him, he's only 20 and it's his first minutes in England. We need to have calm with him. He doesn't speak a word of English, and we need to give him time."
