Aston Villa, with Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez and Emiliano Buendía, beat Brentford 4-0 at home and left the relegation zone, in one of the five games that have given continuity to 13 of the English Premier League to date, led by Arsenal.
Cristian (“Cuti”) Romero, on the other hand, was ejected from Tottenham’s squad before the 2-1 home game against Newcastle due to a slight muscle injury that kept him off the pitch for a few days.
Romero’s illness triggered Lionel Scaloni’s alarm just 30 days before the start of the Qatar World Cup, even if, as reported by the London team, the injury would not be serious and case studies are awaited to determine its degree.
Leaders Arsenal drew 1-1 against Southampton and Newcastle surprised Tottenhman and won 2-1 thanks to the notes of the Englishman Callum Wilson and the Paraguayan Miguel Almirón, and the discount of Harry Kane.
In yesterday’s other games, Fulham beat Leeds United 3-2 away and Leicester City beat Wolverhampton 4-0.
Today: West Ham, of Argentina’s Manuel “Manu” Lanzini, against Bournemouth, at 16:00.
