Tottenham striker Richarlison found the net in the defeat to Fulham, but it was business as usual for Spurs, who lost yet again in 2026.
The Brazilian has been sorely missed this season when he’s missed games through injury, and if Tottenham are going to get out of trouble, they will need players of Richarlison’s quality.
😡 Who was Tottenham’s worst player vs Fulham?
Richarlison has scored eight Premier League goals this season and with three assists also coming from the forward, it’s clear that Tottenham need to be able to count on him in the final 10 games.
After the game, Richarlison enjoyed a nice moment with Fulham boss Marco Silva and the Cottagers’ incumbent was asked about the player in his post-match interview.
What Marco Silva said to Richarlison
Fulham are the team challenging for European football this season and Tottenham might be casting envious glances towards their London rivals.
Richarlison enjoyed a warm embrace with Silva after the full-time whistle at Craven Cottage yesterday, with the manager asked about what was said to the Tottenham man in his press conference.
He said: “We spoke about many things, not just about football. He’s in an important moment now in his personal life. He has a baby now. It was more about that. He’s a special player for me. I brought him to this country and another club. I always wish the best for him because he’s a top, top guy, and when he’s in his best, believe me, he’s a top, top player.”

Silva has been linked with the managerial position at Tottenham previously, but first, the North Londoners simply have to fix up and preserve their Premier League status for another season.
Richarlison can help Tottenham survive
The Brazilian player is very much the main source of goals for Tottenham, and the club desperately need him to stay fit between now and the end of the season.
Richarlison can be sublime on his day, and his goal yesterday should give him confidence ahead of a big run of games where Tottenham will feel they can gain points from.
It’s unthinkable that Tottenham could be playing Championship football next season, and in the coming weeks, Spurs need to get the required number of points to ensure that doesn’t become a reality.
