Premier League: Brazilian striker hits the world wave, hits Puskas Prize

The first round of the 2025/26 Premier League season started in full swing. Tottenham Hotspur beat the newly promoted Burnley 3-0 at home, making a good start to the new season. During the game, Brazilian striker Richarlison scored a wonderful barb, which became the focus of the game. In the 60th minute of the game, Tottenham launched an attack from the right, and new aid Kudus made a precise cross. Richarlison flew to the air with his back to the goal. A powerful and heavy inverted golden hook rushed straight into the far corner of the goal.
