Richarlison brace gives Tottenham a winning start to Champions League campaign

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Richarlison finally scored for Tottenham as the Brazil forward's double powered his side to a 2-0 victory over 10-man Marseille in their Champions League opener on Wednesday.

After going five games without a goal following his £60 million ($69 million) move from Everton, Richarlison got off the mark with a pair of clinical headers to break Marseille's resistance in north London.

Antonio Conte's team were well below their best for long periods, but the game finally swung their way when Marseille's Chancel Mbemba was sent off for a foul on Son Heung-min early in the second half.
