Richarlison has hit the ground running for Brazil at the Olympic Games in Tokyo - his five goals in the group stages firing the 'Seleção' into the quarter-finals.
The Everton forward scored a hat-trick in Brazil's opener against Germany becoming the first Premier League player ever to score a hat-trick at the Olympic Games.
Today, Brazil sealed qualification to the next round with a 3-1 win over Saudi Arabia and the Toffees forward was at it again, netting his fourth and fifth goals of the tournament.
The 24-year-old is on fire for a Brazilian side looking to retain the Olympic title they won five years ago at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
After playing at the Copa América, where Brazil lost in the final at home to Argentina, Richarlison is playing back-to-back tournaments for his nation, but is set to miss the start of the Premier League season at club level with Everton.
🇧🇷 Richarlison to the rescue 🦸♂️
