Jamie Carragher and Richarlison love-hate relationship continues with on-pitch exchange

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher was invited to participate in Tottenham Hotspur's warm-up by Richarlison ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester City on Thursday evening.

The former Everton forward has enjoyed something of a love-hate relationship with the former Reds vice-captain following a series of public disagreements. However, that seemed to be put aside at the Etihad Stadium ahead of the Premier League encounter.

As members of Antonio Conte's squad took to the playing surface, Richarlison noticed Carragher in his position at the side of the pitch performing his Sky Sports punditry duties and rolled the ball into the Anfield icon's path.

Carragher and Richarlison then exchanged a few crisp passes with one another before embracing on the turf. The Sky Sports pundit then jokingly revealed that the Brazilian had "apologised" and that they were "all mates".

Richarlison, who ended his four-year stay at Goodison Park during the summer, has long been a decisive figure in the Premier League due to his controversial heart-on-sleeve approach. And after Everton secured their Premier League status with a remarkable 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace last May, he responded to a social media jibe from Carragher by telling the former Liverpool and England defender to "wash your mouth before you talk about me".

However, the pair finally made amends earlier this season after Tottenham's 2-0 victory against Nottingham Forest in August, where they could be seen sharing a laugh and a joke after the game had concluded at the City Ground.
