Richarlison expertly dispatched a penalty to give Everton the lead in what could be a crucial game in their battle for survival.
Richarlison won the penalty himself, after being denied a penalty earlier in the first half. David Raya appeared to try some mind-games with Richarlison, by standing on one side of the goal.
Unfortunately for Brentford, it didn’t work, and the Brazilian international slotted the penalty into the corner.
