Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison made his first trip to face Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday.
Everton were back at home on Sunday afternoon after defeat at Manchester City last weekend.
Toffees fans are still settling into life at Hill Dickinson Stadium, and Sunday’s game saw an old favourite make his first visit.
Former Everton striker Richarlison made his first trip to Hill Dickinson Stadium, having previously been adored at Goodison Park.
How Everton fans responded to Richarlison’s arrival
Thomas Frank spoke about Richarlison before kick-off, believing that a game against Everton could be ideal for him.
The Brazilian forward started the season in strong form but the goals have dried up of late.
Richarlison spent four years with Everton after joining from Watford in 2018, and clearly remains popular with Toffees fans.
A video posted on social media by Ell Bretland showed Richarlison arriving at Hill Dickinson Stadium with his Spurs teammates.

Everton fans cheered and applauded Richarlison while singing the old chant from his time at Goodison Park.
‘He’s Brazilian, he only cost £50million, and we think he’s f——— brilliant, Richarlison,’ chanted some fans.
Richarlison shook hands and waved to some Toffees supporters before entering the stadium to prepare for the game.
Frank left Richarlison on the bench to start the game, instead preferring Randal Kolo Muani in the Tottenham attack.
Richarlison said an emotional goodbye to Goodison Park
Richarlison has always held Everton close to his heart, even after leaving for Tottenham in 2022.
Last season saw Richarlison say goodbye to Goodison Park as he played at Everton’s old home for the final time.
“I feel very fulfilled for all the 83 times I’ve stepped onto this pitch. Where I played the most and scored the most goals in my entire career. Today, for the last time. Thank you, Goodison Park!” said Richarlison.
Richarlison will have certainly valued his first visit to Everton’s new home, but made his return with a Tottenham win on his mind.
