Everton boss Marco Silva condemned Richarlison for headbutting Adam Smith during his sides 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.
The Toffees went down to ten men after 41 minutes when Richarlison reacted to Smith, making a headbutt gesture at the defender when both players were head to head.
Richarlisons movement prompted Lee Probert to issue a straight red card and send Evertons record signing off with the game tied 0-0.

Silva spent £50million to bring Richarlison to Everton from his former club Watford and the Brazilian has been a fantastic success so far, but the manager was disappointed with his players conduct.
Its something our players cannot do. Even Richarlison, we have to keep our strong mentality all the way through, Silva said after the game.

We need an emotional balance every time. Some [reactions] are provoked, some are not but the opponents are doing their job as well.
The contact looks minimum, but I respect the referees decision. That is something I dont like to see in my players and something they cannot do.
He added: Its naive. I think its something he cannot do. Richarlison is a good boy, its something he [needs] to learn fast [not to do].
But its something we see many, many times in a football match, both players putting their heads to each other with minimum contact. Its something he cannot do.
Despite being down to ten men, Everton went in front through Theo Walcott before Richarlisons agitator Smith was sent off in the second half.
Michael Keane then made it 2-0 to Everton before Bournemouth came roaring back through Joshua King and then Nathan Ake to earn a point.
Richarlison will now miss Evertons next three games, but will be available for selection against Arsenal on September 23.
