Thomas Frank’s tenure as Tottenham Hotspur’s manager began with a bang as Richarlison’s brilliance on the pitch led to a resounding 3-0 victory over Burnley. The Brazilian forward, who had a subdued last season, announced his return in style with two goals, including a breathtaking overhead kick that is already a contender for goal of the season.
Frank, who took over from Ange Postecoglou, praised Richarlison’s exceptional performance and work rate, highlighting the forward’s contribution to the team’s dominant display. The victory not only marks a perfect start for Frank but also sends a strong message to the Premier League about Tottenham’s ambitions this season.
With Brennan Johnson adding the third goal, Tottenham’s attacking prowess was on full display, leaving fans optimistic about the team’s prospects under their new manager. The match also saw a moment of solidarity as Mathys Tel received applause from the crowd following racial abuse he faced on social media.
