Carlos Alcaraz scored his first Premier League goal, but Southampton came back with an incredible game

Aside from Enzo Fernández’s performance at Chelsea, there was another Argentinian who starred on Saturday in Round 23 of the Premier League. Era Carlos Alcarazthe former Racing team which has continued to grow since joining Southampton a couple of weeks ago, and scored his first goal on his debut as a regular in the English league, even though the club from the far south of the island lost an incredible match in Vista’s wolverhamptonwhich made it go up 2 to 1.

Alcaraz put the locals ahead in the 26th minute, after capitalizing on a loose ball in the area and finishing sharply at the near post of the opposing goalkeeper, who was unable to avoid the goal. ‘Charly’ ran with open arms to the stands where fans roared, thrilled to end their streak of just one win in their last nine games.

Everything was on track, then, for Alcaraz to be Southampton’s hero, even more so when Unai Emery-led Wolves sent off Mario Lemina in protest.

However, in the last 15 minutes of the match, Bednarek against his goal and the Brazilian Gomes made the visitor cheer, who reached 23 points in the standings, eight more than Southampton, who are still bottom.

Another Argentinian active this Saturday was the world champion Alexis MacAllister, who had a strong performance but failed to help Brighton win during their visit to Crystal Palace (1-1). It was won by a March goal, but was quickly equalized by Tomkins.

Arsenal and another draw

Arsenal did not go beyond the draw against Brentford (1-1), sealed the third consecutive setback in competitive matches and generated the first doubts of the season in a key moment that could end this week with the loss of leadership.

The point was meager haul for the Gunners, who still hold a six-point lead over Manchester City. However, Pep Guardiola’s side have a golden opportunity in the coming days to strengthen themselves in the Premier League: if he beats Aston Villa this Sunday and beats Arsenal themselves in a direct duel on Wednesday, he will occupy the first position.

Those led by the Spaniard Mikel Arteta take the lead with a goal from Leonardo Trossard, only at the far post, shortly after the hour of play (66), but the almost close Brentford, 8th and in the running for a ticket to European competitions , reached parity after a series of headers culminating in Ivan Toney.
