Richarlison has scored nine goals in his past nine starts for Tottenham, suggesting his has the potential to be a consistent threat

A convincing three-goal home win in their opener against Burnley seemed the perfect start to Thomas Frank's Premier League reign at Tottenham - but one factor disappointed the Dane.

"So, less than a year to the World Cup, right?" Richarlison wrote in the caption. Richarlison's admiration for Fenômeno has gone far beyond a post on Instagram. The striker has a tattoo on his thigh with his own face alongside the top scorer of the 2002 World Cup, as well as Neymar.

It's only Matchweek 1, but we already have a goal of the season contender thanks to Richarlison's acrobatic finish to make it 2-0 for Spurs against Burnley.

Having opened the new Premier League season for Tottenham with two excellent goals, Richarlison will outscore Viktor Gyokeres. That’s the view of former Spurs star Jamie O’Hara after

Striker Richarlison was in inspired form this Saturday (16). He scored two goals in Tottenham's win in the opening round of the Premier League and used social media as part of the celebration. The striker posted an image in which his face appears on Ronaldo Fenômeno's body with the Brazilian national team jersey in 2002.

Previous Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou never came right out and said it, but it felt like he never fully believed he could rely on Richarlison to be the focal point of his attack.

Tottenham Hotspur kicked off the Thomas Frank era in style with a 3-0 win over Burnley while Sunderland beat West Ham United to return to England's top flight.
