Richarlison has sent away some of his problems with a beautiful game against Sheffield United. He equalized the score with a header and then provided the assist so that Kulusevski could guarantee the win for Tottenham at the Premier League.
Both goals were achieved during overtime. It also marked an important statistic for the Brazilian, who now has 50 goals in the league. He was already the 3rd on the list, only behind Roberto Firmino and Gabriel Jesus.

Postecoglou showed support
“So whatever Richy needs, we’ll help him get to the space he wants to. From our perspective, he’s put it out there because he was quite emotional after the game. And we’ll give him the support he needs. But we do that with all players and I think most professional clubs do. My role within that is to make sure that whatever each player needs… sometimes it’s basic things like help with nutrition or relocating. Whatever it may be that the services are here and the help is here to get the players into the place they want to,” said the Spurs boss before the match.
