Gary Lineker has taken a dig at Everton’s Richarlison, after his display against Crystal Palace last night.

Richarlison has often been criticised for going down too easily since he arrived in England.

And it seems that the Everton forward’s tendency to over-dramatise contact wound up Lineker yesterday.

Richarlison’s ‘squealing’ wasn’t just audible when he was fouled yesterday.

The Brazilian was also heard shouting in frustration, as he missed a number of presentable opportunities.

Richarlison’s wastefulness was eventually punished by Palace, who came from behind to claim a draw.

Everton had taken the lead when James Rodriguez blasted home, but they were unable to hold on to their advantage, in what looks like a harmful result for their top four hopes.
