Richarlison condemns racist attack after banana thrown at Tottenham and Brazil star

Richarlison has urged football's governing bodies to take action after the Tottenham forward was targeted in a racist attack.

The 25-year-old had a banana thrown at him during Brazil's 5-1 win against Tunisia in a friendly in Paris on Tuesday evening. As Richarlison celebrated his 19th minute goal near a corner flag, a banana and several other objects were thrown at him by supporters.

The Brazil international responded to the racist attack on Twitter after the game. He wrote: "As long as they stay 'blah blah blah' and don't punish, it will continue like this, happening every day and everywhere. No time bro! #racismonao [racism no]."
