Police have launched an investigation into Everton’s star player Richarlison trick in last Sunday’s match against Chelsea. The talking incident began after a 25-year-old Brazilian player had taken the opening half of the extra time to the home team’s 1-0 lead.
After the finish, a smoky torch was thrown into the field by Richarlison. The torch was still burning at this point.
The referee of the match Kevin Friend did not convict the case, but the FA, the English Football Association, took the case into investigation. On Tuesday, among other things The Sun (switch to another service)Richarlison reports that the FA will not punish Richarlison, but instead the situation has ended in an investigation by the British police.
BBC editor Alistair Magowan says On Twitter (switching to another service)that Merseyside Police are investigating Richarlison’s flaring. According to Magowan, the FA will still decide on its possible follow-up once the police investigation is complete.
For now, it’s unclear why Richarlison threw a torch in the stands. An Everton spokesman commented on the situation as follows on Sunday.
– We are investigating the matter, but according to us Richarlison tried to throw it out of the country, it was stated from Everton.
The leadership of the Premier League jury acknowledged that a red card for “violent behavior” should have been issued for the situation.
Everton won the match with a score of 1-0. Those three points were very important to the team fighting to maintain their place in the league.
