Tottenham's Richarlison scores for under-21s in EFL Trophy win over Cheltenham
Tottenham forward Richarlison, who has been marginalised under manager Thomas Frank, scored for the Spurs under-21s in an EFL Trophy fixture against Cheltenham. The Brazilian, signed for £60m from Everton in 2022, has struggled for minutes and has been linked with a January exit.
