Three best Richarlison moments revisited as Tottenham exit edges closer

Richarlison looks likely to depart Tottenham before the end of this transfer window.

Speaking after Spurs' 2-0 defeat to Newcastle, Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that the Brazilian had informed him he wished to leave.

Now, his move away from Tottenham is gathering pace with Paul Joyce reporting a £35million return to Everton is on the cards.

Richarlison has been at Tottenham since 2022, and he certainly has had his positive moments, even if he could be a frustrating figure at times.

Now, let's take a look at those moments as he moves closer to leaving N17.

Richarlison kicks off Tottenham career in fine fashion

On 7 September, 2022, Tottenham faced Marseille at home, with goals from the Brazilian in the 76th and 81st minutes being the deciding factor in a 2-0 win.

It was the South American's first start for the North London side, and he certainly produced the goods.

Unfortunately, that would turn out to be a false dawn for the former Everton man, who would then have to wait until 30 April, 2023 before scoring again for Tottenham that season.

Nonetheless, as a moment within itself, it is one of his best for the North London side.

The Richarlison-inspired comeback against Sheffield United

Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham career started off exceptionally. The Australian went his first 10 Premier League matches in charge undefeated.

However, that run almost ended half way through if not for the heroics of Richarlison back in September 2023.

Starting on the bench for Spurs against Sheffield United, the Brazilian was brought onto the field with just 10 minutes of normal time left and the Lilywhites 1-0 down.

It was an inspired change by Postecoglou, with the Brazilian netting an equaliser in the eighth minute of stoppage time.

However, his impact would not stop there as Richarlison later set up Dejan Kulusevski in the 100th minute to hand Tottenham a quickfire three points.

One of his most impactful performances in the Tottenham shirt.

That season also saw him go on one of his best goalscoring runs for Tottenham, scoring nine goals in eight Premier League games from December 2023 to February 2024.

That late Richarlison Liverpool-Tottenham equaliser

One of the most iconic moments from Richarlison is undoubtedly his stoppage-time equaliser against Liverpool in 2023.

The Lilywhites had gone down three after just 15 minutes on the clock, but by the time the 93rd minute came around, they had pulled it back to 3-3.

The Brazilian netted the third and equalising goal in a moment that sent both Tottenham and Everton fans wild.

His shirt came off as he embraced the away support in what looked to be a late point earned.

However, it was not to be, with Richarlison's moment overshadowed not long after as Diogo Jota raced through directly from kick-off to score and restore Liverpool's lead.

Richarlison, though, cannot be faulted for that and he did his job by equalising in the first place.

Nonetheless, it was a great moment before that fourth Liverpool goal, and one that will remembered, even if for all the wrong reasons.
