Antonio Conte told what to do with Richarlison after Tottenham star's brutal criticism

Antonio Conte has been told how to punish Richarlison after the striker ripped into him on Wednesday evening. The 25-year-old questioned the Tottenham boss' decision to bench him in the club's crucial Champions League round of 16 second-leg against AC Milan.

Richarlison had played a prominent role in all but one of Spurs' games ahead of the clash with the Italian giants. He started against West Ham, Chelsea and Sheffield United but then against Wolves, was only handed a few minutes off the bench.
