Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou praised Richarlison after victory over Everton.

Richarlison scored against his old club for the 2-1 win.

Postecoglou said: "Yeah he's okay. He's kind of had a sore back yesterday in training. He wasn't 100 per cent, but he was keen to start today. He got through the game. Pleasing for him that he took his goal well and worked hard for us, but I kind of knew that at some point we'd have to take him off, but I don't think it's anything serious.

"He's playing mate. He was out injured. He was struggling with his fitness. He just wasn't 100 per cent. He was soldiering on, as you do, but he just feels a bit freer now, both mentally and physically, and that helps him out. His performances since he's got back, apart from the goals, have been really good."

Richarlison sought out the Everton away fans at the end of the game and his manager added: "It's great on both sides. It's great for Richy to go over, and it's great for the Everton fans to acknowledge him. These things happen in football. I don't think anyone would question Richy's service for Everton Football Club. I think the fans appreciate that, and he appreciated the fans. Now he's with us, and he's doing his best for this football club."
