Everton fans have called on the club to re-sign former striker Richarlison from Tottenham following his actions after their dramatic 3-2 victory.
The Toffees stormed to a 3-0 lead in the first half, thanks to goals from Iliman Ndiaye, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and an own goal by Archie Gray.
At full-time, Richarlison showed his appreciation to the Goodison Park faithful by walking around the pitch and applauding the crowd.
Adding to the speculation, the Brazilian interacted with an Everton fan account on social media, responding to a post that urged the club to “bring him home” with a ‘like’ and two blue lovehearts.
Fans are now hopeful that the emotional connection between Richarlison and the club could pave the way for a potential reunion.
Everton fans call for a Richarlison return following their win
Ange Postecoglou’s side mounted a late comeback with goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison, but it wasn’t enough to avoid defeat.
Everton’s win, their first since David Moyes returned to the club earlier this month, brought them to within four points of Spurs, now sitting in 16th place with 20 points.

The Brazilian striker has struggled in Postecoglou’s team this season, scoring just two goals in nine appearances.
Despite heavy links to a summer move to Saudi Arabia, no transfer materialised. Now, Everton fans are urging the club to bring back the Tottenham outcast.
One fan commented, “Imagine the lift around the club” if a move for their former star were to happen, with many others echoing the sentiment of “bring him home”.
