Tottenham Hotspur’s new head coach Thomas Frank hailed Richarlison after the striker’s double sealed a 3-0 win over Burnley in the Premier League opener. The Brazil international, who struggled with injuries last season, impressed as he started in front of Dominic Solanke against Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain before the midweek Super Cup loss.
Richarlison scored the opener after 10 minutes and sealed the match with his second goal on the hour mark. His performance earned Frank praise, saying “it was a good performance, not through the roof.” The coach also commended the medical department’s efforts to get the players ready for the game.
Frank expressed excitement about Richarlison’s recent form, saying “fantastic he is scoring” and praising his work rate, link-up play, and hold-up play. The Spurs boss believes consistency from the 28-year-old is key to success.
Burnley manager Scott Parker acknowledged the fine margins in the Premier League, stating that clinical finishing can make all the difference. Despite disappointment over not securing a result, he praised several aspects of his team’s performance.
