Tottenham signing Richarlison will miss the first Premier League game of the season after receiving a one-match ban due to a flare incident in May.

The 25-year-old forward threw a flare during former club Everton's crucial 1-0 win over Chelsea at Goodison Park.

As well as the ban, Richarlison has been fined £25,000 by an independent regulatory commission.

The Brazilian admitted his behaviour was improper.

It was a breach of Rule E3, which covers improper conduct. Pyrotechnics are banned from football stadiums in England.

Richarlison threw the flare as a celebration for scoring the winner over Thomas Tuchel's side, which aided the club in staying in the top flight.
