  • Richarlison is a menace on social media and does not take trolls lightly
  • Fellow Premier League stars Michail Antonio and Calum Wilson aimed swipe the Brazilian
  • The Tottenham Hotspur striker fired back at Antonio and Wilson

Richarlison is not taking lightly the troll aimed at him by fellow Premier League stars, West Ham striker Michail Antonio and Newcastle forward Calum Wilson.

The Brazilian joined Tottenham for £60m from Everton and was unlucky in front of goal. He had his first three Premier League goals ruled out by VAR and was shown yellow cards for removing his shirt.

His fourth attempt and legitimate first goal appeared to have won a point for Spurs against Liverpool, but Diogo Jota scored seconds later to win it for Jurgen Klopp’s men.

According to Daily Star, Antonio and Wilson made fun of him on a Footballer’s Football Podcast. The two shared jokes about his four yellow cards over goals that counted for nothing in the end.

Richarlison hits back colleagues’ mockery

The 26-year-old was not too impressed with the gesture from his colleagues and commented on the video on TikTok, asking how many goals the two had at the World Cup.

Richarlison scored three goals in Qatar, including a bicycle kick against Switzerland which was named the goal of the tournament, as reported by Goal.

The trolls scored no goal at the World Cup, the former Bournemouth man represented England while Jamaica failed to qualify, and the West Ham star watched from home.

Wilson scored 18 Premier League goals and helped Newcastle qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in 20 years, while Antonio scored five goals.

The former Watford striker will hope to have better luck next season under the new boss, believed to be Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou.

Richarlison slammed for back tattoo

Sports Brief reported that Micah Richards slammed Richarlison for tattooing Neymar’s face on his back, which was revealed when he took his shirt off.

He also has the tattoos of Pele and Ronaldo Nazario, but it was that of his international teammate that did not impress the former English defender too much.
