On the weekend, Arne Slot’s side hit Tottenham for six in a dominant 6-3 victory in North London. It was Ange Postecoglou’s side’s eighth Premier League defeat in 17 matches and the latest example of the club shipping huge amounts of goals at home. When the whistle was blown, Richarlison, 27, who has been out with a hamstring injury since November, waited in the tunnel for Alisson. However, their exchange was positive, with their friendship deriving from the substantial time they spend together on international duty with Brazil. Despite the result, Richarlison was more than happy to reunite with the shot-stopper, who has had to fight his own injury issues this season, as spotted on Liverpool’s tunnel cam on YouTube.

What all 20 Premier League managers will want to receive for Christmas this year. Richarlison could be seen standing between the changing rooms in the corridor of the tunnel, wearing a large Tottenham winter coat with his hood up. As Alisson walked past, the ex-Roma keeper, stopped, smiled and hugged his compatriot. While they were embracing, James Maddison, who scored an impressive goal against him in the first-half, also shook hands with Alisson.
After a brief moment, Richarlison and Alisson went back to their respective changing rooms. Aside from the reunion with his international team-mate, there was little for Richarlison or any other Tottenham player to smile about.
