'Who do you think you are?': Everton star Richarlison reveals what he said to Virgil van Dijk during heated Merseyside derby row... and admits he picked a fight with the Liverpool defender to waste time at Anfield

Everton forward Richarlison has explained his heated row with Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk during the Merseyside derby at Anfield.

The Brazilian squared up to the Reds centre-back and exclaimed 'who do you think you are?' as he admitted he was trying to waste time with the game appearing to be closing out to a 0-0 draw.

Richarlison has never been the biggest fan of the Dutch international - after he claimed he was not the best defender in the world and that Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos, Thiago Silva and Maqruinhos are all better than him.
