According to The Sun journalist Tom Barclay on Twitter, Tottenham Hotspur fans gave a standing ovation to Richarlison when head coach Antonio Conte decided to take him off late in the Premier League match against Nottingham Forest at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Tottenham got the better of Forest 3-1 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the league today.

Richarlison started the match.

The Brazil international played well for Spurs and provided an assist.

The former Everton and Watford forward had an early goal ruled out as well.

According to The Sun journalist Tom Barclay, Tottenham fans applauded Richarlison when he was coming off.

Spurs head coach Conte decided to take off the forward in the 84th minute.

It was curious that Conte decided to start the Brazilian against Forest despite what happened in midweek.

After the match against AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League in midweek, Richarlison publicly criticised Conte for not playing him enough.

Then on Friday, the former Inter Milan and Chelsea boss hit back at the forward, noting that he has not been playing well and calling him “selfish”.
