Cuti Romero controlled Haaland but was sent off at the end

There was a duel of world champions. In England, by date 22 of the Premier League, the Tottenham of Cristian ‘Holiday’ Romero went down this sunday to Manchester City of Julian Alvarezwho could not get close to the leader Arsenal that on Saturday he had lost in his visit to the Everton. Both Argentine soccer players started the match, but the Cordoba defender was sent off at the end for a double booking, after having played a great game controlling the fearsome Norwegian striker Erling Haaland.

The visit to London was uphill for those led by Pep Guardiola, who also placed the young albiceleste for the first time Maximo Perrone on the substitute bench.

It is that before 15 minutes into the first half, a bad start from the defense allowed the relentless Harry Kane make it 1-0, to also become the top scorer in the history of Tottenham, with 267 so many.

With the advantage, the one who gained prominence was ‘Leave Romerowho prevailed in the duels against the Norwegian Erling Haaland, once with excessive violence, which led to his warning and later his expulsion, at the end of the game, after an infraction on Jack Grealish.

The Cordoba ‘Spider’ also had its moment when averaging the second half he scored two shots from medium distance that were close to becoming the tie: the first was rejected almost over the line and the other went very close to the right post of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Unlike what happened two weeks ago, when they came back from 0-2 against the same rival, City had no reaction, even with the income from Kevin De Bruyne y Gundogan. If at that time Guardiola launched a harsh criticism of his footballers, now he will deepen it, since the round of 16 of the Champions League against him Leipzig from Germany.
