The chance for the hat-trick vanished but the stadium rose in a roar to acclaim Richarlison as Thomas Frank called an end to his shift with the game won, and his delicate fitness record in mind.
There were 72 minutes on the clock, Tottenham led 3-0 and the Brazilian had scored two of them.
His first was the confident finish of a centre forward with his eye in. Swept in as it skipped up from the turf at pace. His second was simply sensational. A leap, a twist in midair and scissor kick.
