Richarlison admits he watches his penalty that sealed Brazil’s Copa America triumph EVERY NIGHT 

Everton forward Richarlison scored the biggest goal of his career over the summer and he admits he has not stopped trying to relive the moment.

The Brazilian sealed his country’s Copa America triumph on home soil with the third goal in their 3-1 victory over Peru in the final at the Maracana Stadium in July.

The 22-year-old replaced Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino in the second half and put the game to bed when he was handed a chance from the spot in injury time.

‘I’ve been watching the video of my penalty goal every night!’ Richarlison revealed in an interview with Goal.com. ‘It took a while for it to really sink in, to realise what we’d really achieved.

‘For me and my family, it was a great achievement – and that was despite the difficulties that I had during the tournament…’

Richarlison began the tournament in Tite’s starting XI but later lost his place in the side before being diagnosed with mumps ahead of a quarter-final clash with Paraguay.

‘That was difficult,’ the Toffees star continued. ‘Every day I would wake up and look in the mirror to see if the swelling in my neck had gone down.

‘It was a miracle in some senses, because all the research I did said a minimum of two weeks recovery time. 

‘Even the doctor didn’t believe I could be back so quickly, in time for the semi-final and the final, but I managed to recover in four or five days.’

It was the first time that Brazil had won the South America tournament since 2007
