Everton threw away a two-goal lead against Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday going down 3-2 having led 2-0 at half time.

The result was Everton’s fourth defeat from their last six games and cranks the pressure up on boss Marco Silva.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison had given the Toffees a 2-0 lead inside 32 minutes.

Salomon Rondon and a brace from Ayoze Perez ensured a win for the hosts, however, with Everton languishing in 11th.

Brazilian forward Richarlison took to Twitter following the game, posting a bizarre photo montage which celebrated his goal. The message read:

Showcasing such delight at scoring hasn’t gone down too well among the club’s supporters, given that the game was still lost.

The ex-Watford man signed for the Toffees during the summer and Saturday’s strike was his 12th of the campaign.

The Blues are desperate for a revival in fortunes and Silva must be desperately disappointed that his team couldn’t see out the win at St. James’ Park.

Everton supporters naturally weren’t happy with the 21-year-old bizarre tweet on Saturday.

They felt that the man being paid £90k-a-week, according to Spotrac, should have perhaps been a little more distraught following a morale-sapping defeat.
