Everton forward, Richarlison has been charged by the English FA with improper conduct after throwing a smoke bomb during the Toffees’ Premier League win over Chelsea last month.
The Brazilian, while celebrating after scoring the game’s only goal early in the second half, picked up an object which had been thrown onto the playing surface before hurling it back towards an empty part of the ground, albeit close to the stands.
According to Stats Perform, a statement released by the FA on Wednesday confirmed the Brazilian’s charge, noting he had until June 8 to provide a response.
Notwithstanding, just after the charge was announced, Richarlison posted an image of himself holding up the smoke bomb to his official social media accounts.
The Brazil forward’s charge comes just one day after boss FrankLampard was fined £30,000 by the FA following his own charge of improper conduct, having suggested a penalty which was not awarded to Everton in April’s Merseyside derby defeat to Liverpool at Anfield would have been given to their opponents.
Richarlison played a very crucial role in preventing Frank Lampard’s side from going to relegation.
