Antonio Conte has hit back at Tottenham forward Richarlison after the Brazil international ‘shushed’ him after scoring in Saturday’s Premier League victory over Nottingham Forest.
The former Everton forward had appeared to open the scoring in the third minute, with his celebration appearing to shush the Italian boss. The goal was ruled out by VAR for an offside, although Spurs ran out 3-1 victors as Harry Kane netted a brace and Heung-Min Son was on the scoresheet.
It came after Conte responded to Richarlison’s explosive television interview, calling the forward’s demands for more game-time "selfish". However, the boss did – perhaps somewhat surprisingly – start the forward for Saturday’s clash at home to Forest.
