Richarlison marked his Champions League debut with two goals as Tottenham Hotspur got up and running with a comfortable 2-0 win against 10-man Marseille.
The £60million signing, Spurs' new club record, scored twice inside five second-half minutes to down the French giants and get Antonio Conte 's team off to an ideal start. Richarlison headed home Ivan Perisic's inch-perfect cross to give his side the lead in the 76th minute before doubling Tottenham's advantage with another header, this time from a superb Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg delivery.
In a heart-warming moment, Richarlison ran over to his father for an emotional embrace after scoring the opening goal on an enthralling night in the competition. The teary-eyed 25-year-old hadn't played in the Champions League while at previous English clubs Everton and Watford, and he cited it as one of the main reasons why he chose to join Tottenham this summer.
