Richarlison delivers Arsenal rallying cry with Spurs social media message after racism incident

Richarlison has responded to all the love and support that has been shown his way since the Brazil vs Tunisia racism incident and has issued a Tottenham rallying call ahead of his side's vital Premier League clash against Arsenal.

As all players start making their way back to their respective clubs after the last international break prior to the FIFA Qatar World Cup, one incident on Tuesday night has left a bitter taste in everyone's mouth. This is because, during the 5-1 Brazil victory over North African side Tunisia in Paris, it was reported that a banana was hurled in the direction of Richarlison, who admitted after the incident that he didn't know how to react in the heat of the moment.

He told local media post-match: "I don't know what I could have done in the heat of the moment. May this fan be identified and punished. You see what happened with Vinicius Jr. recently and now this, inside a stadium. May the authorities find and punish him. May this incident teach other people not to do it."
