Everton star Richarlison shows Tim Cahill admiration following Sheffield United win

Everton favourites Richarlison and Tim Cahill exchanged simple but brilliant messages with each other following the win over Sheffield United on Monday.

The Blues took a 1-0 victory back to Merseyside after a much improved performance at Bramall Lane, with a second half header from the Brazilian enough to secure all three points.

Gylfi Sigurdsson's free kick found the 23-year-old at the near post, and he expertly guided the ball beyond Dean Henderson and into the far corner of the net.

That finish prompted a tweet from Tim Cahill, who became notorious during his time at Everton for a number of top quality headed goals for the club.

His praise for the goal brought a simple but effective response from Richarlison, who replied: "A header like yours!"

This was the Brazilian's 13th league goal of the season, matching his tally from last term with one game to go of the campaign.

And the 23-year-old is increasing his collection of impressive headers for the Blues - with others including strikes against Lincoln in the League Cup, Wolves, Leicester and Liverpool.
