Tottenham scored twice in stoppage time to defeat Sheffield United and retain their unblemished start in the Premier League this season, creating a breathless conclusion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Before Spurs came back to win, Gustavo Hamer thought his goal for the Blades in the second half was enough to give them their first victory of the season.
Richarlison was the hero of Tottenham’s late, late performance with a goal in the 98th and an assist in the 100th that startled Sheffield United.
After Gustavo Hamer scored in the 73rd minute, the Blades were just minutes away from a shocking victory and what would have been their first in the Premier League season.
The Brazilian striker scored his first Premier League goal at home for Spurs in the eighth minute of stoppage time, just days after making the courageous revelation that he would be seeking “psychological” therapy. But then it was Richarlison’s turn to steal the show.
Dejan Kulusevski then scored a dramatic winner in a frenzied finish that also saw Oli McBurnie dismissed for receiving a second yellow, extending Richarlison’s afternoon.
It will be remembered as the most recent successful comeback in Premier League history. Spurs maintain their unblemished record and increase their point total to 13, while Sheffield United are still winless after five league games due to shock.
