In the game against Manchester United, Rissarisson thought his goal had sealed three points for Tottenham. He even took off his clothes to celebrate excitedly and received a yellow card, but De Ligt scored the equalizer for the Red Devils in stoppage time.

Lineker said in the podcast: "Risaarison thought he had won the game for Tottenham and took off his jersey to celebrate. As a result, the referee extended the stoppage time of the game because of his move. In the end, the opponent used this extended stoppage time to equalize the score."

"I think The rule that you will be given a yellow card for taking off your clothes to celebrate is stupid, especially in stoppage time. Not only will you be given a yellow card, but the stoppage time will also be extended. "

"However, even though this is a stupid rule, everyone knows that this rule exists, so I really don't understand it. Why did Sallyson do that?"

"I know you get very emotional and excited after scoring an important goal, but you can express it in other ways than taking your shirt off, which is a bit silly, but I understand that for him, it was an important goal and he thought he was doing it. Won the game."

Former England international Micah Richards said afterwards: "You know what? I can't even complain about Rissalisson taking off his jersey because he played in real life. I felt the same way when I played "Fantasy Football".
