Richarlison demonstrated how crucial he is to Tottenham Hotspur with a sublime brace in their 3-0 Premier League win over Burnley, with manager Thomas Frank saying it was vital to manage the Brazilian smartly to continue getting the best out of him.

Frank used a 4-2-3-1 formation but, surprisingly, Lucas Bergvall was the most advanced midfielder. He pressed Burnley’s defence along with Richarlison and went on a couple of impressive driving runs with the ball. Throughout pre-season, Pape Matar Sarr tended to be the most advanced midfielder.

The Thomas Frank era began to the great delight of Tottenham Hotspur fans on Saturday, as last season's Europa League winners cruised past newly promoted Burnley 3-0 in north London.
