Richarlison\u2019s stoppage-time celebration was overturned by an even later twist as Matthijs de Ligt\u2019s header earned Manchester United a share of the points and left the Tottenham Hotspur forward with a rare Premier League record. Opta confirmed that Richarlison is the first player in Premier League history to be booked twice for taking his shirt off after scoring, only for his team to concede afterwards.<\/p>\n
Tottenham had taken the lead through Bryan Mbeumo, who headed the visitors in front before half-time. Spurs improved in the second half after the introductions of Wilson Odobert and Destiny Udogie down the left, and Mathys Tel turned and scored in the 84th minute to restore parity.<\/p>\n
Richarlison ended his barren run by flicking Odobert\u2019s shot past Senne Lammens in the first of six additional minutes. He removed his shirt in celebration and was booked for doing so. United, reduced to ten men after Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko was forced off with an injury, still found a route back into the game. Spurs allowed De Ligt a free header at the back post and the Dutchman headed home, repeating a similar late header he produced for Ajax in the second leg of their 2019 Champions League semi-final.<\/p>\n
The result left points shared and denied Spurs the lead they briefly held. The record highlighted by Opta follows earlier incidents in Richarlison\u2019s Tottenham career. In April 2023 he thought he had rescued a point at Anfield with a stoppage-time header, but Diogo Jota ultimately won the match for Liverpool after a Lucas Moura giveaway. Earlier again, at the start of his Tottenham career, he was booked for excessive celebrating only for his goal to be disallowed by the video assistant referee in a 2\u20131 win over Fulham.<\/p>\n
The match combined late drama, disciplinary consequence and a rare statistical footnote that will be noted in Opta\u2019s records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
