Richarlison scored a stunning scissor kick effort to double Tottenham’s lead against Burnley.
The Brazilian was the difference between the two teams after he followed up his well-taken first-half goal with a brilliant strike in the second.
The provider for the first goal, Mohammed Kudus provided for Richarlison again with a cross from the right-hand side. However, his cross was slightly behind the striker who pulled out an incredible scissor kick to reach the ball and fire it past Martin Dubravka and into the bottom corner.
Richarlison’s goal was reminiscent of his wonderful goal in the 2022 World Cup, and is starting to become a trademark of his. He was replaced minutes later, with Frank denying him the chance to score his first hat-trick in English football.
Fans took to social media to laud the goal, with one user dubbing it an “insane” goal. A second said: “That could be the best goal of the 2025/26 season.” While a third said raved: “Goal of the season contender.”
Tottenham soon wrapped up the game and the three points as Brennan Johnson slotted past Dubravka to make it 3-0 after 66 minutes.
Spurs made light work of the Clarets on their return to the Premier League after bouncing back up to the top-flight last season, finishing 2nd in the Championship.
And it was an all too familiar feeling for the travelling support back in the big time as Tottenham took their chances, albeit in spectacular fashion, to make Scott Parker’s side pay.
Tottenham were impressive in Frank’s first competitive game in charge against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup. The Europa League champions took a deserved 2-0 lead over the Champions League winners before the Parisians turned the game on its head.
