Richarlison Aimes Thinly Veiled Dig at Arsenal for Losing Title Race to Manchester City

• Arsenal missed out on the Premier League title on the final day
• City won their fourth successive title with a win over West Ham
• One Tottenham star aimed a subtle response to his London rivals

Tottenham Hotspur star, Richarlison, appeared to aim a thinly veiled dig at Arsenal for losing out on the Premier League title.

The Gunners pushed Manchester City to the final day of the 2023/2024 season, but it was not enough, as they finished two points behind their rivals.

Despite a 2-1 win over Everton on Sunday, May 19, the Gunners needed Manchester City to drop points against the Hammers to have any hopes of winning a first title in 20 years.

But it wasn’t meant to be for the North London side, who will have to wait a bit longer for silverware.

Richarlison’s subtle dig at Arsenal

Amid different reactions on social media to Arsenal’s close shave with the title, Richarlison appeared to rejoice that his team’s North London rivals were ending the season trophy-less.

Richarlison missed the game through injury, but the Brazilian wasted no time going on social media after the final round of matches.

He shared a video of a child crying before bursting into laughter. Richarlison captioned the photo with a grinning face emoji.

From the outside, the post suggested Richarlison was distraught that Arsenal finished the season above Tottenham but was delighted the Gunners lost in the title race.
