Everton fans unhappy with Clinton Morrison's Richarlison comments in Amazon Prime commentary

Everton supporters have been reacting to Clinton Morrison, who is on co-commentary duty for Carlo Ancelotti's side's clash with Leicester City.

The match, which is being broadcast live on Amazon Prime, started well for the Blues, who went 1-0 up through Richarlison in the 21st minute. The Brazilian attacker struck into the bottom corner to hand Ancelotti 's men an early lead against the high-flying Foxes.

Everton were impressive in the first-half of the match at the King Power Stadium, but their fans have been focusing on something else.

Morrison is on commentary duty for Amazon for the game, and some of his comments have displeased Blues supporters.

Everton fans have taken to Twitter to share their disgust with some of the coverage, with some of the former Crystal Palace striker's comments about Richarlison's work-rate confusing the public.

Everton started the game well against Brendan Rodgers' side and had a penalty appeal turned down early on after Dominic Calvert-Lewin went down.

Just three minutes after the penalty shout, the visitors did have the lead after Richarlison beat Kasper Schmeichel.

However, it wasn't all great for the Blues, who lost Allan on around 40 minutes, with the Brazilian midfielder being stretchered off with what appears to be a hamstring problem.

The Blues will be looking for back-to-back victories in the Premier League if they can hold on against Leicester. Ancelotti's side can move as high as fourth-place with a win at the King Power, and have the chance to leapfrog Manchester City, who were held to a 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday evening.
