    Richarlison missed two sitters for Tottenham in as many minutes in their Premier League visit to Luton.

    The Spurs striker had a chance to break the deadlock just three minutes into the affair after Dejan Kulusevski whipped in a cross from the right flank. Richarlison met the rising ball at the back post, with the goal gaping from only a yard out.

    But the Brazilian astonishingly shinned his effort over the bar, leaving Tottenham supporters furious and manager Ange Postecoglou in disbelief.

    Even Richarlison was visibly shocked as he untangled himself in the net. And the chances came thick and fast for the forward.

    The 26-year-old former Watford man was threaded through again, this time by James Maddison. He took a touch before getting his shot on goal, which was denied by Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski.

    What did you make of Richarlison's performance? Let us know in the comments section.

    One Spurs fan fumed on Twitter: "Richarlison that is shocking," while another tweeted: "RICHARLISON BROTHER?!"

    A third frustrated supporter vented: "What's wrong with Richarlison" and a fourth added: "That is an absolute embarrassment from Richarlison."

    Others chimed in by writing: "God damn it, again?!" and: "Richarlison has to go."

    The striker's dismal first-half showed no signs of improvement as he played a sloppy pass into touch and fired the ball over the crossbar again.
