despite the Tottenham having lost 4-3 to Liverpool this Sunday, the game was special for striker Richarlison. At the end of the duel, the Brazilian managed to score the net and scored his first goal with a Tottenham shirt in the Premier Leaguethe English Premier League.
Signed at the start of the season, the 25-year-old has struggled to establish himself in the starting XI and has gone through a goal drought with the team. Before scoring against Liverpool, Richarlison appeared in 23 games (10 in the starting line-up) for the London club without making a mark, according to data from the sofascore.
The striker’s average is to score once every 853 minutes played. His eye for goal hasn’t proved accurate in the Premier League either, as he converted just one of five clear chances he had.

Despite the bad numbers for a number 9, Richarlison has shown that he can contribute in other ways to the team. The Brazilian has three assists in the championship, in addition to having already given 14 decisive passes so far.
Brazil’s starter in the 2022 World Cup started on the bench in this Sunday’s clash, but the goal could mean a new chance among the starters in the next games. Tottenham returns to the field on Saturday, against Crystal Palace.
