Spurs ace Richarlison has banana thrown at him by fan in disgraceful scenes after scoring for Brazil vs Tunisia in Paris
TOTTENHAM star Richarlison had a banana thrown at him after scoring for Brazil against Tunisia.
The forward put his side 2-1 up with a fine finish and celebrated in front of the Parc des Princes crowd.
But one supporter shockingly threw a banana in his direction and it landed near his feet.
Manchester United star Fred kicked the fruit off the pitch before looking up to the crowd.
Richarlison and his brazil team-mates had put out an anti-racism message prior to kick-off.
The team posed next to a banner that read: “Without our black players, we wouldn’t have stars on our shirts.”

The statement came in response to Vinicius Jr twice being racially abused in the build-up to Real Madrid’s game against Atletico Madrid nine days ago.
First the winger was told to “respect rivals and stop playing the monkey” by Spanish agent Pedro Bravo after he celebrated scoring against Mallorca.
Real Madrid promised legal action but Vinicius took matters into his own hands as he defiantly danced in celebration alongside Rodrygo against Atletico.
That came not long after Vinicius was racially abused by Atletico fans before the game got underway.
