Richarlison scores twice on his UEFA Champions League debut for Tottenham Hotspur.
The Spurs recorded 2-0 win over Olympique Marseille in their opening group game in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.
Antonio Conte started the Brazilian who made the move from Everton in the summer for £50m.
Richarlison scored twice under fives to ensure that Tottenham Hotspur claim their first three points on match day 1.
Although Mbemba's dismissal changed the game totally in Spurs' favour.
Marseille were reduced to ten men after Mbemba was sent off after his clumsy challenge on Heung Mi Son who was through on goal.
Spurs then took full advantage with Richarlison heading home crosses from Perisic and then Hojbjerg.
Then Tottenham broke the deadlock after 75 minutes, Richarlison finally gets the home fans on their feet as he scores Spurs' first goal in the Champions League this season. Perisic will take the credit for the delivery, as his cross was straight into the path of Richarlison. The Brazilian did the rest as he headed past Lopez after being left unmarked.
Richarlison heads home from inside the penalty area for his second goal five minutes later. After their corner was cleared, Spurs recycled possession with Hojbjerg, but he wasted no time in crossing to the far post. Richarlison waited until the last second before throwing himself at the cross to head past Lopez.
