WATCH: Richarlison tries to interrupt an Arsenal throw during Tottenham’s defeat, gets stopped Tomiyasu

Richarlison de Andrade is as good a team player as you’ll get. Someone who’ll give it all to his team. Last year, ahead of Brazil’s 2022 World Cup campaign, he displaced Fred during the team photo op ensuring that Neymar Jr, one of the senior players in their team, got his due respect while seating in the middle.
So it was only natural that he did something even before he came on as a substitute during Sunday’s North London der fixture. In a video that is now doing rounds on the social media, the Spurs can be seen trying to interrupt an Arsenal throw in from the sidelines, with his side trailing against Arsenal.
However, he is stopped in his tracks Takehiro Tomiyasu putting a hand in between. Even though Richarlison smacks it down, he is unable to hinder Arsenal’s play.
