Tottenham 2-0 Marseille - Champions League: Richarlison double seals win

This time they counted. This time his shirt stayed on. This time there was no VAR intervention and Richarlison rescued Tottenham, his first goals for his new club enhancing the incredible impact he has made since his £60million move from Everton.

The Brazilian struck twice in the closing minutes, burying a pair of headers from left-wing crosses in front of the South Stand to break the stubborn resistance of Marseille, who played for most of the second half with 10 men.

It was the same end where he thought he had scored on Saturday to cap a brilliant display against Fulham, when he whipped off his shirt and picked up a yellow card as his effort was ruled out for offside.
