Alan Shearer and Micah Richards heaped praise on Tottenham striker Richarlison following his two goals for Brazil against Serbia, stating the 25-year-old has shown exactly why he is leading the line for his country ahead of the likes of Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus and Liverpool's Roberto Firmino.
The Spurs striker was chosen to lead the line in the Selecao's World Cup opener, but had somewhat of an anonymous first-half, touching the ball fewer times than any other player on the pitch.
However, he was at the right place in the right time to open the scoring for Tite's side, capitalising to poke home after Vanja Milinkovic-Savic parried Vinicius Jnr's shot just after the hour mark.
