VIDEO: A few days ago Richarlison confessed his mental problems and now in two minutes he made Tottenham’s crazy turnaround in the setup

Tottenham performed an incredible turnaround in the 5th round of the Premier League at home, still trailing Sheffield in the 98th minute. But two goals in two minutes were set up by Brazilian Richarlison, who confided to the world earlier in the week about his mental problems.

Tottenham struggled with the newcomer from Sheffield until the very end of the game

A truly extraordinary week for the Brazilian striker. He opened up to the fans at the start of the week with his mental problems, but at the weekend he provided the biggest turnaround of the season.

Tottenham missed out on European Cup contention last season by just a point. This year, they can focus solely on their Premier League performances and it has to be said that the team from North London has made a good start to the new league season.

The Australian coach with Greek origin Ange Postecoglou has to do without his biggest star Harry Kane, who is heading to Germany. However, he is dealing with the loss of his biggest offensive threat very well, as his team has not known the bitterness of defeat in the first four rounds.

He tried to build on his excellent performance in Saturday’s game against Sheffield. However, the newcomer to the league embarrassed the favourite much more than initially expected. Thirteen bookings, more than a quarter of an hour of set time, a crazy run of play.

No goals scored in the first act. Tottenham had the territorial advantage, but they were not very dangerous in front of the goal. The shock for the home fans then came after the change of sides when Gustavo Hamer, defending the Sheffield jersey, scored in the 73rd minute.

The score remained unchanged until the end of regulation time and for a long time it looked like Tottenham would walk away from this game with a point. But in the eighth minute of stoppage time, the home side came through.

In injury time, Richarlison, who shocked the world a few days ago, made a sensational turn

Richarlison, who only came on in the 80th minute, created a glimmer of hope with a beautiful header after a Perisic corner. Two minutes later, the Brazilian then fed the ball to Kulusevski, who was perfectly positioned in the penalty area and made a sensational turn.

For Richarlison, it was a fairytale ending to a week in which he shocked the football world. During Brazil’s national team match against Bolivia, he was caught on the bench in tears.

A few days ago, he then confided in the media his mental problems, for which he had planned to see a psychologist. Will his amazing performance help him to cope with the difficulties that have accompanied him in recent months?
