Former Everton striker Richarlison has hit back at Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott after their altercation during the Reds 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

The two former rivals locked horns again during the latter stages of Liverpool's triumphant return as Premier League champions, where they had to be separated.

With the game in the closing stages and the Reds on the verge of being crowned league winners, four games before the end of the season, Elliott and Richarlison had to be separated.



The Brazilian took umbrage with Elliott's cheeky attempt of a nutmeg when play was halted for a foul in the middle of the pitch.

Richarlison looked to hunt the England youngster down before Elliott retaliated with a push on the former Everton star, but as he was being pulled back by Curtis Jones, Elliott gestured '30'.

Some suggested that Elliott was gesturing to Richarlison the wait without a trophy for Liverpool's cross-city rivals, with the anniversary of their last piece of silverware this year.

However, the spat didn't just stay on the pitch as it moved to social media where the 27-year-old fired back at Elliott in the comments of a TikTok video.

The account 'footballwithasb' posted a video dissecting the incident at Anfield on Sunday, while it attracted over 80,000 likes, Richarlison was among the 2,000 users to comment.

He replied: "He wants to reach 30 goals in his career I think [grinning face with sweat emoji]."

Although Richarlison felt he got the last laugh in the encounter with Elliott, it's likely not to blemish a memorable day for the Liverpool midfielder after they were crowned Premier League champions.

Dominic Solanke provided an early scare for the Reds after heading home inside 12 minutes, his second of the season against Liverpool - surpassing the one goal that he scored during his spell on Merseyside.

Arne Slot's side answered back through Luis Diaz but the celebrations were momentarily halted after the flag was raised.

However, the use of semi-automated offsides and VAR found that Kevin Danso had played Dominik Szoboszlai onside, who provided the assist for the Colombian.

Liverpool turned on the style and added two more goals in the first-half through Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo.
