Richarlison has to restrain Dejan Kulusevski as the Swedish forward fumes at officials after Tottenham's 2-1 defeat to West Ham... with fans joking the fiery Brazilian 'is a changed man'

Tottenham forwards Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison were pictured in front of officials at the end of their 2-1 defeat against West Ham on Thursday night, with one of the Spurs stars calming down their team-mate.

Yet it was perhaps not the player you would expect, with the former Everton forward in fact restraining Kulusevski at the end of the game, with the Swede international seemingly aggrieved with a decision that didn't go his way.

Richarlison has a reputation for not shying away from conflict on the pitch, notably caught up in two separate tense instances in the north London derby in January, pushing both Takehiro Tomiyasu and Aaron Ramsdale.
