Sky Sports pundit slams ‘Devastated’ Tottenham star over what he did v Everton
Tim Sherwood has slammed Richarlison for his lack of celebration following his two goals for Tottenham against Everton on Saturday (3 February).
The Brazilian international appeared “devastated,” according to the Sky Sports commentator, who was speaking on Premier League Productions on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. via HITC, following his first-half brace at Goodison Park.
In addition, he said that if the 26-year-old attacker feels “that bad about it,” he should “stop scoring goals.” Jarrad Branthwaite’s late equalizer gave the Toffees a point in the 2-2 draw.
Sherwood remarked, “If he didn’t celebrate the first goal, then he definitely needs to smile for his second one.” “Stop scoring goals if you truly feel so horrible about it. Just look at how devastated he is. You cannot be inconsolable.
Richarlison has respect for Everton fans
It’s pretty clear from Richarlison’s lack of celebration that he still has a lot of time and respect for the Everton fans despite leaving the club for Tottenham 18 months ago.
He put in a number of excellent performances for the Toffees during his four years at Goodison Park before deciding he wanted to move on in a big-money deal.
It’s his right to celebrate those goals how he wants to and, in this instance, he decided to show very little emotion after scoring either of them.
It’s not for Sherwood to decide what the Brazilian should do in those instances, just because he perhaps would’ve acted differently in that situation.
It isn’t as though he didn’t do his all to help Spurs win the game, so on this occasion, the forward deserves to be cut a little bit of slack.
