'Dance for us now lad' - Fans laugh at Richarlison after Liverpool break Tottenham hearts

Liverpool fans have taken to social media to laugh at Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison after his first Premier League goal for Spurs was cancelled out by a 94th minute winner.

Richarlison joined the action to boos from all over Anfield and it seemed written in the stars the former Everton attacker would be the player to level things for Spurs after Liverpool let a three goal lead slip.

Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah gave the Reds a 3-0 lead after 15 minutes, but Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and the Brazilian looked to have salvaged a point for Ryan Mason's side. That was until Diogo Jota finished past Fraser Forster in the dying stages of the chaotic game.

After heading beyond Alisson Becker, Richarlison took his first off in celebration, shushed the Anfield crowd and did his pigeon dance all before watching Jota power a finish past Forster to make it 4-3.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, who is known for having some back and forth with the ex-Everton star, posted four duck emojis and four laughing face emojis on Twitter.

It is fair to say Richarlison taking his shirt off in celebration will come back to haunt him: "One goal Richarlison taking his shirt off to lose a few mins later."

This Reds fan was happy to see Richarlison score: "You know what, I’m happy richarlison scored, made Jotas goal so so good."

Why does Richarlison think he's a pigeon this fan questions: "Wish I understood why Richarlison thinks he’s a pigeon."

Richarlison is in the habit of having goals disallowed every time he takes his shirt off, this time is was met with a goal 90 seconds later: "Someone tell Richarlison to stop pulling his shirt off after scoring...maybe they'll up winning the match."

The Brazilian's first league goal this season was met with a Jota winner moments later: "Legit the only time Richarlison scores this season and they concede a min later."

All of the 'anguish evaporated' for this Liverpool supporter: "All my anguish at blowing a three goal lead evaporated when I saw Richarlison skulking in the center circle. Dance for us now lad."
