Richarlison News: Bags brace in opener

Richarlison scored two goals to go with five shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 win over Burnley.

Richarlison got his season started off on the right foot, scoring a brace in the opening match. Both of his goals were assisted by Mohammed Kudus, and the second one was nearly a bicycle kick that was eerily similar to Richarlison's goal in the 2022 World Cup that won goal of the tournament. After an electric start to the season coming off a solid performance in the UEFA Super Cup, Richarlison is making a case to Thomas Frank that he should start over Dominic Solanke. If both players can remain healthy they will likely rotate, especially when the Champions League season begins.
