Richarlison mocked for shushing celebration before Liverpool winner

TOTTENHAM forward Richarlison was brutally mocked by football fans after he shushed the Liverpool crowd - just seconds before the Reds bagged a dramatic winner at Anfield.

The ex-Everton man, 25, thought he had earned Spurs an unlikely point when he scored a 93rd-minute equaliser to complete a remarkable comeback after the visitors had gone 3-0 down inside 15 minutes.

But there was even more drama to come as Diogo Jota went straight up the other end and struck to clinch a remarkable 4-3 victory for Jurgen Klopp's men.

And now those thrilling few minutes have come back to bite Richarlison.

When he scored what looked to be the equalising goal, he was pictured shushing the Liverpool crowd.

He also did his trademark "pigeon dance" with team-mate Son Heung-min.

Just seconds later, the cameras caught him with his hands on his head as he laughed in astonishment at Jota netting the winner.

And fans were not about to let those stark responses go.

Speaking on social media, one person said: "RICHARLISON SHUSHED THE LIVERPOOL FANS JUST TO CONCEDE AND END UP LOSING 1 MIN LATER 😭."

Another added: "This man is destined to be a meme 🤣."

A third replied: "Dude is cursed."

And a fourth responded: "This is football heritage."

Richarlison's goal at Anfield was his first in the Premier League for Tottenham and just his third of the season in all competitions.

It has been a frustrating first campaign in North London for the £60million man - who scored as many goals for Brazil at the World Cup (3) as he has all season for Spurs.

Tottenham slipped below Liverpool to sixth in the Premier League table following the result on Merseyside.

And they are in danger of missing out on European football altogether as they sit level on points with Aston Villa and just two above Brighton who have three games in hand.
