The Brazilian had failed to score a Premier League goal since April before netting twice in Spurs' opening win against newly-promoted Burnley last week, as the North Londoners kicked off the Thomas Frank era in a positive way.

An even greater test awaited this weekend with a trip to the Etihad to face Manchester City, but Richarlison was once again at the heart of the action for Spurs .

He beat City’s offside trap and ran in behind before delivering an inch-perfect cross for Brennan Johnson to fire Spurs ahead in the first half.

Although he did not register a direct assist, he was also involved in the build-up to Spurs’ second goal, as they forced an error from goalkeeper James Trafford before João Palhinha hammered it home.
