    The Brazilian came on in the 74th minute and provided a superb cross to Harry Kane who scored and doubled his tally.
    Then with five minutes to go, Richarlison decided to break into an impromptu spell of keepy-uppy to the delight of Spurs fans.
    But not everyone was impressed with Richarlison’s display including Forest star Brennan Johnson who swiftly clattered into the striker, receiving a yellow card in the process.
    Johnson’s fury was shared by Liverpool legend Hamann who condemned Richarlison for being “unsportsmanlike.”

    He fumed: “Nothing to do with showboating. Should have been booked for unsportsmanlike conduct and restarted with free kick to Forest.”
    But Richarlison was nonplussed by Hamann’s criticism and nonchalantly responded: “Cry more,” along with a crying face emoji under the German legend’s post.

    His blase reply was warmly received by Spurs fans who chimed in on the post.
    One fan mused: “We’ve got ourselves a proper wind up and I’m all for it,” accompanied by a crying face and hand clap emoji.

    This sentiment was echoed by another user who said: “We’ve finally got a proper windup on and off the pitch in the team.”
    And a third supporter added: “I love how cocky he is it’s ace,” with a few crying emojis.
    Their enthusiasm was shared by Hamann’s former Liverpool team-mate Jamie Carragher who joked: “This is the type of sxxthousery I can get fully behind!”, with two crying face emojis.
    Carragher’s praise for Richarlison came after they squashed their Twitter beef when the Spurs and Forest match concluded.
    Despite the footy pundit initially slamming Richarlison for his showboating, the pair shared a warm embrace once the game was over.
    Carragher felt Richarlison’s wrath when he criticised the Brazilian’s performances for Everton last season – leading to the forward calling out the ex-Liverpool defender on Twitter.

    But the bickering pair were all smiles when they finally met face-to-face.

    Manchester United are owned by the Glazer family, who also run the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
    It was unclear whether the Tesla CEO was serious about his bid to buy the Premier League club.

    They haven’t won the league since 2013 and their fans have protested many times against the owners.
    The club are still a commercial powerhouse and valued around £4billion – just shy of $5billion.
    Musk tweeted on Tuesday night: “Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome.”
    To add to the confusion, Musk’s tweet was a direct reply another of his posts about politics.

    Musk, 51, faces a fiery legal battle against Twitter for dramatically pulling out of a $44billion buyout.
    It’s been a whirlwind few months for Musk and Twitter, as the billionaire decided to pull out of the deal in a dispute over fake account bots.
    The entrepreneur believes there are far more bots on Twitter than officials claim and accuses them of not providing enough information to settle his purchase.
    Unhappy with the backtracking, bosses have decided to take Musk to court.
    Lawyers for both sides will go head-to-head in Delaware Chancery Court starting on October 17 and continuing for five days.
    Twitter’s team had requested to begin the trial as early as September to prevent Musk from further disparaging the company.
    Musk wanted things to start in February 2023, claiming a “warp speed” trial is an attempt to derail his argument the platform is cluttered with spambots. More

    Rice, who has taken up the mantle of West Ham captain following Mark Noble’s retirement, stepped up to try and draw his side level.
    However, his low effort was stopped by on-loan Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who had a superb game between the sticks and frustrated West Ham all afternoon.
    And his penalty ended up being pivotal as Forest held on to claim victory.
    Rice took to Twitter following the game to apologise.

    He said: “Can only apologise for the penalty miss, thought we created enough to get something from the game.
