Many Everton fans have been left to laud a subtle dig made by Richarlison on Thiago after talking about the Merseyside derbies from the 2020/21 term.

Speaking on journalist Thiago Asmar's YouTube channel (via Sport Witness), the former Watford star revealed that Thiago never accepted his apology for the bad challenge that he made on the Liverpool man at Goodison Park earlier on in the season, while also revealing that they never looked at each other after he scored at Anfield:

“The last game I made that challenge on Thiago and got sent off. My goodness. Then I went on Instagram to apologise and such. He only saw it. I said ‘I’m going to delete this message too, since he doesn’t want to reply’. Then I went there and deleted it. He didn’t answer, no.

"Then there was the derby now, at their home, he didn’t look at my face, I didn’t look at him, either. The game goes on. He ignored the pigeon.”

Carlo Ancelotti's team have picked up a very impressive four points from off of their local rivals in the Premier League in this campaign, and several Toffees were lapping up his comments.

The Blues have a real chance of finishing above the Reds come the end of the season, which would be quite the achievement given the gap in the last campaign.
