Tottenham’s forward Richarlison stirred up some social media drama after clashing with his Brazilian teammate Gabriel during the intense north London derby against Arsenal. Despite Richarlison’s efforts as a second-half substitute, Arsenal emerged victorious with a 3-2 win, maintaining their lead in the Premier League title race.

Richarlison’s entry into the match injected a physical presence up front for Spurs, resulting in goals from Cristian Romero and a Son Heung-min penalty, making the final moments tense. However, Arsenal secured the win and the three points.

A notable incident occurred when Richarlison collided with Gabriel, leading to the forward receiving a yellow card for his shoulder-barge. Unfazed by the repercussions, Richarlison engaged in some banter on social media, reposting a video where he was teased as “Brazil’s first choice striker Vs Brazil’s last choice CB.”

Despite Richarlison’s playful taunts, Gabriel and his Arsenal teammates celebrated their victory on the pitch, reinforcing their strong defensive partnership, particularly with William Saliba. While the Brazilian national team may not prioritize Gabriel in defense, the perspective shifts in north London, where negotiations are underway for Gabriel to secure a lucrative new contract as a key player.
