Brazilian striker Richarlison rolled back the years to the 2022 FIFA World Cup when he scored a bicycle kick for Tottenham against Burnley which was almost identical to the one he had scored against Serbia in Qatar almost 2 and a half years ago.

Richarlison, who had already scored the first goal of the match on Saturday when he struck in the 10th minute before pulling out the outrageous skill to double Spurs’ lead in the 60th minute. Both the goals were assisted by Mohammed Kudus who was bought from West Ham in the ongoing transfer window. Tottenham ultimately went on to win the match 3-0 with Brennan Johnson scoring the 3rd in the 66th minute.

“Thank you for the assists (To Kudus). I’m so happy with this guy – next week he deserves to score because he works so hard for the team. I think this guy’s Brazilian! I’m so happy with the game,” Richarlison said after the match.

It was no meek surrender from Burnley, however, as they managed to get forward and take nearly as many shots as Tottenham, but Scott Parker’s side lacked quality in finishing.

Richarlison has had a tough time at Tottenham since coming over from Everton in 2022, missing large chunks of his time there due to injury. Since his signing, he has missed 58 matches for Spurs and scored 5 goals in 24 matches last season in all competitions. The season before that he played 31 matches in all competitions and slammed 12 goals. In his debut season for the club, he played 35 matches but could manage only 3 goals.

In 2022, Richarlison’s bicycle kick was voted as the goal of the tournament. Richarlison had his back to the goal when he used one touch to flick the ball up in the air near the penalty spot, then spun around and leaped off the ground to deliver a spectacular acrobatic kick into the net. It helped Brazil win 2-0 win over Serbia in the group stage.
