Cuti Romero, Tottenham hero: spectacular run and cross that screamed like a goal

Tottenham defeated 2 to 1 Everton on matchday 18 of the Premier League. However, this achievement would not have been possible without the stellar performance of Cuti Romero who, before retiring with discomfort, made a save that went viral.

6 minutes into the match, with a team still tactically disorganized, the defender of Argentina national team -who suffered a beating as soon as he entered the pitch- avoided what could have been his rival’s first goal.

For his great performance, the central defender was quickly rewarded with goals: Richarlison AND Son Heung-Min They carried the game on their shoulders and, less than 15 minutes later, scored the two goals that ultimately sealed Spurs’ victory.

Despite being the protagonist in the first half and avoiding a key goal, Cuti Romero was unable to finish the match on the pitch: was replaced by muscle discomfort during the break and He missed the last 45 minutes of the matchwhere Tottenham felt the loss and were exposed defensively.

On the other hand, the visiting team sank even further with the defeat: he came 16th out of 20 AND runs the serious risk of going down if he fails to return in the next matches.
