Tottenham star Richarlison first former Everton player to score both home and away against them
Tottenham striker Richarlison became the first former Everton man to score both home and away against the Toffees. He achieved this feat when he scored the opener in the recent 2-2 draw between the sides. He also scored the Lilywhites’ second goal before Jarrad Branthwaite scored late to make things level.
The 26-year-old Brazilian striker is in fine form and has managed to lead Spurs’ frontline spotlessly in captain Son Heung-min’s absence. In 23 appearances across all competitions, Richarlison has 11 goals and three assists to his name. Nine of his goals have come in the last ten Premier League fixtures.
Richarlison‘s journey at Tottenham initially faced challenges, as it took time for him to acclimate to his new surroundings following his move from Everton last season. However, his recent form showcases the best version of Richarlison in a Spurs jersey, demonstrating resilience and the ability to overcome challenges. In the previous campaign, he managed only three goals and four assists, making his current run of form even more remarkable. His unique record was also pointed out live by Paul Robinson on BBC.

The Brazilian striker’s dynamic performances have added a potent attacking dimension to Tottenham’s play, making him a key figure in Ange Postecoglou’s squad. Richarlison’s goal-scoring exploits not only highlight his individual improvement but also underscore the positive impact he has had on the team’s overall offensive output.
As he continues to lead the line effectively and consistently find the back of the net, Richarlison’s contributions become increasingly crucial for Tottenham’s aspirations in both domestic and, potentially, European competitions. His unique achievement against Everton adds a special chapter to his Tottenham journey, showcasing his ability to make a mark against his former club in both home and away encounters.
The Brazilian’s impact is not limited to goal-scoring; his overall involvement in the team’s build-up play and pressing has been crucial in Ange Postecoglou’s high-tempo system. Richarlison’s ability to link up with teammates, create space, and press opponents aligns well with the manager’s philosophy, making him an integral part of Tottenham’s attacking setup.
