'I want to be at the Copa America' - Richarlison

Richarlison is determined to secure his place in Brazil's squad for the 2019 Copa America after the Everton forward helped Tite's side beat Uruguay 1-0 on Friday.

Neymar's controversial 76th-minute penalty settled a tight friendly at the Emirates Stadium, with Brazil having been frustrated by a makeshift Uruguay defence up until that point.

Richarlison's introduction midway through the second half added some cutting edge to Brazil's play and the 21-year-old should have netted a third international goal to wrap up the win late on.
