Everton supporters have fumed following a post to Twitter made by Richarlison after the defeat to Leicester City.
The Brazilian attacker opened the scoring for Marco Silva’s side on Sunday, however, was unable to prevent the Toffees from falling to another defeat (as per BBC).
On Monday morning, the winger then proceeded to post to pictures from his goal celebration despite the loss (as per Richarlison), which angered some of the Goodison Park faithful.

Should players be posting on social media following a defeat?Yes, they can do what they want
No, they need to concentrate on football

Despite the criticism, the 22-year-old bagged a goal and picked up a 7/10 rating for his performance against the Foxes (as per Liverpool Echo).
However, another area of the Brazilian’s game which has been called into question of late is his tendency for theatrics (as per Liverpool Echo).
With supporters angry over the social media post, some made reference to his perceived image as a diver.
How about staying on your feet lad ??

What do we think?
Richarlison played well against Leicester and was one of the Toffees’ stand out performers on the day.
However, the post does seem a little forgetful of the result and that will be why it enraged some of the Goodison Park faithful.
