Tottenham striker Richarlison lit up the Premier League with a jaw-dropping scissor-kick goal against Burnley, leaving fans stunned and drawing instant comparisons to his iconic World Cup strike in 2022.
The moment came after a brilliant link-up with teammate Mohammed Kudus. Kudus delivered a sharp cross into the box, slightly behind Richarlison. But the Brazilian improvised with spectacular flair, launching himself into the air and executing a perfect scissor kick that rocketed past Burnley keeper.
The technique and precision mirrored the goal he scored for Brazil against Serbia during the 2022 World Cup, a moment many still regard as one of the tournament’s finest.
With performances like this, Richarlison continues to prove he is more than capable of producing magic when it matters.
Premier League 2025: Ezri Konsa Receives First Red Card Of Season As Aston Villa Reduced To 10 Men Against Newcastle; Video
Aston Villa found themselves in serious trouble during their opening Premier League clash against Newcastle United after defender Ezri Konsa was shown a straight red card for a foul on Anthony Gordon. This is the first red card of the new season. The incident unfolded in dramatic fashion following a lightning-quick counterattack from the Magpies.
It all began with a rapid transition, as Anthony Elanga surged forward through midfield with blistering pace, catching the Villa backline off guard. Spotting the run of Anthony Gordon, Elanga played a perfectly weighted through ball behind the defence. Gordon sprinted onto it, breaking free in a clear goalscoring position.
As the Newcastle forward looked certain to go one-on-one with the goalkeeper, Konsa, who had been caught behind the play, desperately lunged back and pulled Gordon down just outside the area. The challenge left referee Craig Pawson with little choice but to reach for his pocket and issue a straight red card to Konsa for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.
