Elliott was involved in a minor scuffle with Richarlison and made a gesture with his hands, which some interpreted as a reference to Everton's drought without a trophy. Richarlison addressed the incident on social media, saying Elliott's goal-scoring target might be more achievable than Everton's.

Richarlison's comment was a lighthearted attempt to deflect attention from the altercation. Elliott has scored 22 goals in his career, with 14 of them coming during his time at Liverpool. He is yet to reach 30 goals, but is likely to achieve this milestone in the future if he stays with the club.

In contrast, Everton, Richarlison's former team, has not won a major trophy in a long time, which may not help his case in any future arguments with Liverpool players.
