VIDEO; Richarlison bursts into tears after missing sitter in Brazil vs Bolivia

Tottenham striker Richarlison was left in tears after being substituted during Brazil’s 5-1 win over Bolivia in World Cup qualifying on Friday evening.

Brazil went into turmoil in the World Cup qualifier with Neymar and Rodrygo in hand, but it was a night to forget for Richarlison.

The striker missed a golden opportunity to get on the scoresheet when he fired over the goal line from six yards with the goal gaping.

He would fail to redeem himself when he was replaced midway through the second half.

And the 26-year-old clearly found the manager’s decision difficult to make as cameras caught him crying on the bench.

 It’s a big season for Richarlison, who is now Spurs’ main man up front following the departure of Harry Kane.

He has started all four of his side’s Premier League matches but is yet to find the net. His only goal to date comes in the Carabao Cup defeat to Fulham.

Friday’s match was Brazil’s first World Cup qualifier and goal difference put them at the top of the table.
