Leeds United fell to a 2-1 defeat against Everton in their Premier League clash on Wednesday evening.
After two Toffees goals in the first-half, Raphinha got the Whites off to the perfect start in the second half with the perfect low finish, although it wasn’t enough.
There were doubts over the Brazilian coming into this one after he was forced off in the 3-1 win over Leicester on Sunday.
Marcelo Bielsa will be delighted with the impact that Raphinha has made since arriving at Elland Road back in October.
The Brazilian has delivered two assists and scored twice in his past three outings, and he continues to get better and better.
Leeds dominated the game against the Merseyside club without reward, and it was Raphinha who was at the heart of everything in the clash.
No one attempted more dribbles than the 24-year-old in the Whites side according to WhoScored, as he pushed for the equaliser.
Many Leeds fans have reacted to the performance of Raphinha against Everton, and they were delighted with what they saw at Elland Road.
The majority kept making the point that the South American was an absolute steal, and continues to prove how much of a bargain he was.

Raphinha is absolutely class. Doesn’t hit the ball with too much power but make sure it’s goes into the corner. The sign of a great finisher
