Richarlison explains Messi-evoking shirt celebration in Everton's win over Lincoln

Richarlison caused a stir on social media on Wednesday night by evoking memories of Lionel Messi's shirt-holding celebration after scoring a last winner in El Clasico in 2017.

Everton went into their Wednesday night Carabao Cup clash in Lincoln City as strong favourites, despite Marco Silva's side's mediocre start to the 2019-20 Premier League campaign, but the Toffees made hard work of it.

After Lincoln took a shock lead, goals from Lucas Digne, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Alex Iwobi put Everton in control - but it took an 88th-minute goal from Richarlison to seal the 4-2 win.
