# Everton: Fans fume over Richarlison penalty miss

**Lots of Everton fans have been left fuming over footage showcasing Richarlison at the weekend.**

As shared by [The Toffees Blues](https://twitter.com/TheToffeeBlues/status/1423980828577701888) on their Twitter page, the striker missed a penalty for Brazil in their Olympic Games final against Spain while the score was still 0-0.

Richarlison opted for a stuttered run-up and ultimately ended up blazing his shot well over the top of the crossbar, prompting him to hold his shirt over his head in shame.

It was not a good penalty at all and does not bode confidence going into the new season if the Toffees win a penalty and he ends up taking it.

Richarlison will want to get over it as soon as possible so that he can be fully focused when he returns to the Everton squad under new manager Rafa Benitez.
