Rafa Benitez reacts to Richarlison's penalty frustration vs Brighton

Everton boss Rafa Benitez has revealed the team's penalty taking pecking order after Richarlison reacted with frustration in the win over Brighton. The Toffees picked up a 2-0 win over Seagulls, with Demarai Gray and Dominic Calvert-Lewin marking ther names on the scoresheet. Everton were awarded a second-half spot-kick at the Amex Stadium when Seamus Coleman was bundled over in the box and Richarlison took hold of the ball hoping to take the penalty. However, Calvert-Lewin has been named as the club's designated taker for every first penalty the Blues are awarded. The Brazilian had to be calmed down by Coleman and Lucas Digne when the ball was taken from him but he was visibly still exasperated at full-time. After the game Benitez said on the incident:
"We had this conversation before and I told him if we have two penalties, the first one is Dominic's and the second one is his.   "Obviously he wants to score goals, which is normal. I am pleased because Dominic scored, we played well and we won, so everyone has to be happy with that. Richy will understand that."
