Brazilian striker Richarlison, once deemed a questionable signing for Tottenham, is experiencing a resurgence with back-to-back goals, marking a positive turn after a £50 million move from Everton in 2022. The recent three-goal spree, including two in the 4-1 victory against Newcastle, hints at a potential redemption for the player who struggled to find the net last season.

In the Nottingham Forest clash, Richarlison’s header in first-half injury time, complemented by Dejan Kulusevski’s goal, secured Tottenham’s lead. Despite playing the final 20 minutes with 10 men due to Yves Bissouma’s red card, Tottenham held on, breaking a five-game winless streak and providing relief for manager Ange Postecoglou. The defeat extends Forest’s winless run to six games, increasing pressure on manager Steve Cooper.

Brennan Johnson’s return to the City Ground, despite a head injury, drew applause from Forest fans, highlighting his significance. Standout performer Kulusevski, a £29.2 million deal, showcased his value with impactful contributions, emphasizing a bargain for Tottenham. While Richarlison’s recent success doesn’t fully redeem his £50 million transfer, he aims to extend the scoring streak against former club Everton, reflecting newfound confidence.
