Spurs star hails ‘unbelievable’ Richarlison after superb double in win over Burnley | OneFootball

Lucas Bergvall heaped praise on his team-mate Richarlison after his double helped Spurs to a 3-0 opening day win over Burnley.

The Brazilian scored two fantastic goals to get new boss Thomas Frank off to a winning start in the Premier League, and midfielder Bergvall says he has been hugely impressed by what he has seen from the striker after a difficult spell with injuries.

“Yeah, unbelievable,” Bergvall said.

“Richy has been really good in the pre-season and today. So against PSG as well, even though he didn’t score, he was really good, strong and today he got two goals.”

Next up for Spurs is a trip to Manchester City, who thrashed Wolves 4-0 in their first game of the campaign.

But Bergvall says he has high hopes for this season.

“We take every game at a time,” he said.

“Of course, we want to reach the Champions League, of course. We want to win everything, but every week is a new game, so we take it one at a time.

“We know what we can do. We have a really, really good squad, so we know what we can do.

“Last year, we won 4-0 away, but it’s still a really tough game, so we need to go there and be ready.”
