Richarlison dealt 'instant justice' for Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham showboating incident

Former Nottingham Forest midfielder David Prutton says he would have done "exactly what Brennan Johnson did" following Richarlison's keepy-uppy stunt - but says the Tottenham Hotspur man "won't care" about the huge reaction to his showboating.

The Brazilian attacker decided to show off a little bit of skill as the the end of the game approached with the scoreline 2-0 to Spurs. Johnson immediately steamed into him for a foul, much to the delight of the Forest faithful.

Prutton, who made 79 league appearances for the Reds over two spells, says that Richarlison was "crafty" in doing what he did, as it helped wind down the clock. He thinks that the Tottenham star would have known exactly what the end result of his antics would have been.
