Tottenham star Richarlison nominated for FIFA Puskas Award after stunning Brazil goal

Tottenham summer signing Richarlison has been nominated for the FIFA Puskas Award after scoring a spectacular bicycle kick for Brazil during the World Cup. The 25-year-old enjoyed an impressive tournament in Qatar but was unable to help his nation reach the final.

Brazil were dumped out of the competition in the quarter-finals as they lost on penalties despite heading into the competition as favourites. Richarlison started ahead of Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus for the Selecao and rewarded Tite's decision with two goals in their first match against Serbia.

Tite has since left his post as Brazil boss following their early exit from the World Cup. The Tottenham star has now been nominated for the FIFA award among a number of other sensational goals scored around the world.
