Kevin Campbell drools over Everton forward Richarlison v Brentford
Kevin Campbell has showered praise on Richarlison after he scored against Brentford as Everton lost 3-2 on Sunday (15 May) in the Premier League.
The Toffees twice took the lead in the match, but Brentford found a way to pick up all three points.
Everton had two players sent off at Goodison Park, and their survival hopes still remains in the balance.
“I think there’s two points of contact. There’s not only the arm but the leg as well. That makes the contact. It’s a penalty.
“Richarlison has been a really big player for Everton. What a fantastic penalty,” said Campbell to Premier League Tv productions while discussing about the penalty.
Brilliant
Richarlison has been brilliant once again and he drove the team forward.
The Brazilian will be left disappointed with the result, but the Toffees still has two more games to save themselves.
A victory for Everton would have secured their top-flight status with two games to spare, after Leeds drew against Brighton and Burnley lost against Tottenham on Sunday.
The narrow defeat leaves Frank Lampard’s team just two points clear of 18th-placed Burnley and one above the Whites, who have played a game more.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who made his first start since 9 April, flicked a header on the path of Richarlison, who was fouled in the box. It looked a soft penalty, but there was a clear contact.
The Brazilian made no mistake from the spot, and cooly slotted home.
The Toffees will be safe if they beat Crystal Palace at home on Thursday evening.
Everton may struggle to hold on to Richarlison in the summer, but he is doing everything he can to save his team from getting relegated.
