Heart-warming Richarlison gesture to student nurse following Everton win over Norwich

Richarlison has made a brilliant gesture to an NHS worker following Everton's win over Norwich on Wednesday evening.

The Blues secured their first victory of the Premier League's return at Carrow Road by beating Daniel Farke's side 1-0, with Michael Keane bagging the winner with a great header from Lucas Digne's corner in the second half.

While Carlo Ancelotti's side were defensively organised once again, it was a bit of a quiet afternoon for Richarlison on the pitch until he was replaced by Moise Kean towards the end of the game.

But, the Brazilian's action on social media following the game has wowed Everton supporters once again.

A fan tweeted the forward asking if his daughter could have his match-worn shirt, as she is a student nurse who has been working throughout the current coronavirus pandemic.

And Richarlison's response was heart-warming.

He replied: "I already saved the shirt of today's game for her! Hope she has a fast and full recovery! What's her name?? She's a heroine, as are all health professionals! Tell her that I thank her so much for her work and dedication!"

The Everton man's response drew tens of positive comments from supporters as he once again proved his kind-hearted nature.

The Brazilian has worked tirelessly in charity efforts for his hometown of Nova Venecia since making the move to Goodison Park, including donating food parcels to help families affected by the pandemic recently.
