The 21-year-old defender recently stated that he needs to score more goals, but no one imagined that he would score like a seasoned striker.
Branthwaite scored the opening goal for the Toffees against Brighton but a late goal from Lewis Dunk ended their hopes of picking up all three points.
speaking on BBC Match of the Day, Micah Richards has showered praise on Branthwaite, as he pointed out his aggressive qualities while watching his footage. The popular football pundit, who also works for Sky Sports among others, has hailed him as a “magnificent” defender.
“If he keeps up [possible candidate for the Euros], he is so good,” said Richards on Match of the Day.
