Richarlison in tears as Southampton vs Tottenham hit by record-breaking injury farce

Tottenham forward Richarlison left the pitch in tears at St Mary's Stadium after picking up an injury inside the opening few minutes against Southampton on Saturday.

Richarlison was given a start by Spurs boss Antonio Conte in another show of faith, following their recent war of words. He would have been eyeing his first Premier League goal for Tottenham against the league's bottom side, but it all went wrong within a few minutes.

The Brazilian pulled up with an injury early on and Conte was forced to bring on Dejan Kulusevski in the fifth minute. He trudged off the pitch with his head down as tears filled up in his eyes. He pulled his shirt over his head before being consoled by Conte and Saints boss Ruben Selles.
