Young Fan Bursts Into Tears After Richarlison Gives Him His Shirt

Shortly after Everton's new £50 million signing Richarlison scored a brace on his debut against Wolves on Saturday afternoon, the Brazilian made a young fan's day, if not year.

The 21-year-old, who became the first Everton player to score a brace on his Premier League debut since Jo in 2009, became an instant hero when he managed to convert both of his chances in the 2-2 draw.

Even after the final whistle, Richarlison won the hearts of many when he gave away his match shirt to a fan in the crowd.

Thaynan Leite Correa was the lucky 9-year-old who now owns the former Watford player's debut shirt. The youngster couldn't contain his emotions seconds later, breaking down in tears of joy.

How will Everton perform this season? Can they finish in the top eight?
