Dejan Kulusevski continued his good form against Nottingham Forest, but his celebration was unknowingly spoiled by his teammate.
Tottenham beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 on Friday night in the first Premier League game of the weekend, despite going down to 10 men following Yves Bissouma's red card.
Richarlison bagged the first goal on the stroke of half-time, putting Spurs in the driving seat at the City Ground and continuing his blistering form, making it three goals in his last two games.
Kulusevski added a second for Spurs with a brilliant solo effort, though Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner could have done bettter with the effort.

Following the goal, Kulusevski went to carry out a pre-planned celebration using the match ball, in tribute to his unborn child.
However, Richarlison had other ideas, kicking the ball away unkowingly in celebration before the Swedish winger could get to it.
Despite the hilarious misunderstanding, Richarlison managed to hand the ball back to a bewildered Kulusevski, who finally put the ball under his shirt and sucked his thumb to celebrate him becoming a Father.

Spurs had the bulk of chances and possession in the game, putting their opponents to the sword and leaving Steve Cooper in even more hot water over his future at the club.
Bissouma's rash challenge that was adjudged to be a red card offence didn't help Forest either, who seemed hopeless and could not finish any of their chances despite the advantage.
The result strengthens Spurs' hold on fifth place in the table, and continues their good form after smashing Newcastle 4-1 last week, and managing a draw against treble winners Man City the week before that.
In the midst of the injury crisis that they are going through, it seems like Tottenham are fighting through it all.
