Southampton vs Everton: Premier League – Opposition Threats
By Marc Walker
Richarlison
A lot was made of his big-money transfer to Goodison Park from Watford in the summer but he has largely proved a hit so far.
His nine goals in all competitions has added a decent level of goalscoring to the Toffees frontline with the Brazilian playing in a variety of positions – including centre-forward.
One dangerous aspect of his play is his ability to turn and run directly at the opposing defence. meaning he can then draw fouls and cause complex problems.
Getting challenges in early on Richarlison is key to dealing with his threat and Saints will have to do this to ensure Everton can’t exploit his best traits.
