“What do you expect him to do?” – Jamie Carragher defends foul on showboating Richarlison

"He just winds people up... he winds me up."

Moments after he set up Harry Kane for the game-clinching goal, Richarlison decided to rub it in at the City Ground. The Brazilian came on as a second half substitute as Tottenham beat Nottingham Forest to continue their promising start to the season. Harry Kane scored both Spurs goals, either side of having a penalty saved by Dean Henderson. Antonio Conte's side were full value for their 1-0 lead but had struggled to deliver the knock-out blow until Richarlison helped settle matters with a sublime, outside of the boot assist. https://twitter.com/FootballJOE/status/1563937459523690496

Brennan Johnson clatters Richarlison

In the final minutes of the Forest vs. Spurs encounter, Richarlison received a pass, over on thew left wing, and proceeded to flick the ball up before doing some volleys and passing it off to a teammate. He then received a return pass and was clattered by Forest's Brennan Johnson, with Neco Williams landing on the former Everton striker in a bundle, for good measure. Up in the Sky Sports gantry, Jamie Carragher said he could not condone such a brutal foul, but he could see why it had happened. "He just winds people up," said Carragher. "He winds me up... you can't be showboating out there, like that." https://twitter.com/AbyssFootball/status/1563940376536301568 https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1563939257756139521 Johnson received a yellow card for his transgression and the Brazilian was booed every time he touched the ball, in those final few minutes. He had a chance to make it 3-0, but Henderson denied him with a smart save. Related links:
