Thomas Frank’s Tottenham Hotspur got off to a perfect start in their Premier League campaign with a convincing 3-0 win over Burnley. The Brazilian striker Richarlison was instrumental in the victory, scoring two goals, including a spectacular scissor kick, and assisting on the third.
Frank was thrilled with his team’s performance, praising Richarlison for his work rate, passing ability, and finishing skills. “For the second goal we had 17 passes and every player in the team touched the ball,” Frank said. “It was an exceptional finish. I’m a bit disappointed as so early on we’ve had the goal of the season.”
Richarlison’s form has been a major concern for Tottenham, having struggled with injuries last season. However, the medical team’s efforts to build him back up have paid off, and he looks more confident than ever.
Record Premier League goalscorer Alan Shearer praised Richarlison’s performance, saying “his second goal was a phenomenal finish.” Ex-England striker Dion Dublin also expressed his admiration for the Brazilian, suggesting that he needs to be given space on the pitch to perform.
The win has silenced some of the critics and protesters who have been vocal about Tottenham’s transfer business. While the club has made significant additions in the transfer window, including midfielder Joao Palhinha, their performances on the pitch will ultimately determine their success.
Frank’s team is now looking to build on this momentum, with a focus on consistency and progression throughout the season. With Richarlison leading the charge, Tottenham fans are optimistic about their team’s chances of achieving success in the Premier League.
