From a fan perspective, Tuesday night’s Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City was one of the most odd in recent memory.
Both Spurs and the Citizens had a lot riding on this game in terms of their season-long aspirations.
Some Tottenham supporters, though, were openly hoping for their team to lose at the same time.
The rationale was that Tottenham’s victory over Manchester City would give Arsenal the upper hand in the Premier League title fight.
Spurs had a strong game that evening and tied the Citizens at the half, but the visitors broke the tie in the fifty-first minute.
After a nice pass from Bernardo Silva to Kevin De Bruyne, who beat Radu Dragusin to the ball and squared it for Erling Haaland to score.
Cristian Romero lost a 50-50 with Phil Foden in the build-up to the goal, which sustained City’s attack and led to their goal.
After watching the £42 million player, Jamie Carragher was unimpressed and blasted him on Sky Sports.
Regarding Cristian Romero, the Tottenham defender, what has Jamie Carragher said?
When Carragher looked at Romero’s challenge, he stated during the fight. He’s among the hardest defenders in the game.
“I mean. It’s unacceptable to lose against Phil Foden in a 50/50. Perhaps his neighbour is an Arsenal supporter!
Romero collided with City custodian Ederson later in the game after a challenge for a ball that had been crossed into the box.
The Argentina international’s aggressive edge is still evident, no matter what. Perhaps he felt he needed to atone for his error in dealing with Foden.
Despite the mishap, Romero has advanced much this season, and as the Postecoglou project moves into its second year, it will be interesting to watch what he can accomplish.
Late in the game, Pedro Porro gave away a penalty kick that Haaland expertly converted to extinguish Tottenham’s chances for the win.
