(Video) Szoboszlai and Slot’s reactions to Richarlison’s clash with Elliott were absolutely unforgettable.
Richarlison has often been a thorn in the side of Liverpool fans in recent years, but during the closing moments of the Reds’ 5-1 demolition of Spurs on Sunday, he unwittingly sparked a hilarious moment.
The former Everton striker — well-known for taking childish digs at Liverpool — got into a spat with Harvey Elliott in stoppage time, prompting the 22-year-old to mock him by flashing a ‘30’ gesture with his hands.
Many interpreted Elliott’s gesture as a cheeky jab at Everton’s long wait for major silverware, contrasting sharply with Liverpool equalling the record for most English top-flight titles after their emphatic win over Ange Postecoglou’s men at Anfield.
Liverpool bench’s priceless reaction to Richarlison-Elliott clash
As Richarlison squared up to Liverpool’s number 19, fan footage captured the bench’s hilarious response. Dominik Szoboszlai was seen bursting into laughter as the Spurs forward furiously protested Thomas Bramall’s decision to book him, and even manager Arne Slot couldn’t hide a smile in the technical area as the drama unfolded.
Richarlison’s antics gave us all a good chuckle!
Over the years, Richarlison has not hesitated to aim digs at Liverpool — once claiming “everyone in England hates Liverpool” and mocking Virgil van Dijk by suggesting fans are “obsessed” with him.
Who could forget his infamous pigeon celebration after a stoppage-time equaliser at Anfield two years ago, only for Diogo Jota to snatch victory seconds later?
Richarlison clearly embraces the pantomime villain role whenever he visits the newly crowned Premier League champions — yet more often than not, he ends up the butt of the joke.
Following Sunday’s incident, the Brazilian attempted to hit back at Elliott on social media, suggesting the Liverpool youngster “wants to reach 30 career goals” — a mark Elliott is actually close to achieving, having just turned 22 earlier this month.
Ultimately, the laughter from Elliott, Szoboszlai, and Slot made it abundantly clear: Richarlison’s tantrum was more amusing than anything else.
