Richarlison has banana thrown at him after scoring for Brazil in Tunisia thrashing

Richarlison had a banana hurled towards him whilst playing for Brazil on Tuesday night.

The Tottenham star has been prolific for his country recently and scored in their friendly against Tunisia, held in the French capital at PSG's Parc des Princes. He celebrated by running towards the corner flag, but as his teammates congratulated him, a banana was tossed onto the pitch.

Richarlison largely ignored the appalling gesture, although Manchester United's Fred kicked the fruit off the pitch and stared into the crowd. Before kick-off Brazil's players had again pushed back against racism as they stood next to a banner that read: "Without our black players, we wouldn't have stars on our shirts."
