Tottenham striker Richarlison continued his impressive form for the Brazil national team last night (Monday) with another goal as they eased to a 4-1 win over South Korea in the World Cup last 16. The forward scored his 19th goal in 40 games for A Selecao with a well-taken finish to set-up a quarter-final tie against Croatia.
Tite's side were too good for Heung Son-min and his teammates in Doha, with four first half goals setting Brazil on their way to a comfortable victory. Vinicius Junior, Neymar and Lucas Paqueta were all on the scoresheet within the first 36 minutes as the tournament favourites recovered from Friday's 1-0 defeat to Cameroon.
Richarlison added to his two goals he scored in Brazil's opener against Serbia with a neat striker past Seung-Gyu Kim before heading straight to the technical area to display his famous 'pigeon' celebration with head coach Tite.

And after the game, a clip shared on social media showed the Spurs man teaching Brazilian legend Ronaldo how to do his celebration in a bizarre 19 seconds of footage. Richarlison does the celebration before breaking the steps down, which the former striker repeated with a grin on his face.
Richarlison then proceeded to copy Barcelona's Raphinha and rub Ronaldo's legs as a sign of good luck. The 46-year-old won two World Cups during his impressive career, whilst also finishing as a runner-up in 1998.
Brazil and Richarlison will now divert their attention to Friday's quarter-final against Croatia as they look to lead the nation to their sixth World Cup victory. Should they overcome the 2018 runners-up, a mouth-watering semi-final against Lionel Messi's Argentina awaits.
