Adrian Mariappa delighted with start Brazilian kid Richarlison has made in Premier League with Watford

Brazilian striker Richarlison is showing that age and the language barrier is no obstacle to Premier League success, according to his Watford team-mate Adrian Mariappa.

Richarlison claimed his second goal following a £13million move from Fluminense to secure Watford's first league win at Swansea since 1983 when Luther Blissett and John Barnes were on the scoresheet.

The 20-year-old pounced on an Alfie Mawson mistake in the final minute to give Watford a 2-1 victory - the first time the Hornets have won three consecutive away games in the top flight.
