One Tottenham star has been singled out for special praise during the Lilywhites’ match with Leicester City on Sunday afternoon.
Tottenham played host to Leicester in a Premier League clash, well aware that they needed a win to leapfrog Arsenal, who take on West Ham shortly.
And, after a slow start, Tottenham would run out 3-1 winners on the day. Harry Kane fired Tottenham into the lead after 22 minutes, being set up by long-time partner, Heung-min Son.
Son then went from provider from to goalscorer in the second half, smashing in Tottenham’s second of the day on the hour mark to kill the game off before adding a second late on.
Cristian Romero praised
But whilst Son has had a hand in all of Spurs’ goals vs the Foxes, it is another Tottenham star who has been singled out for special praise.
That man is Cristian Romero, who has been influential as both ends of the pitch.
The Argentine commanded Tottenham’s defence whilst also playing a key role in Spurs’ second goal, stepping out of defence to put in two crunching tackles, which led to Dejan Kulusevski taking the ball and setting up Son.
Now, following Romero’s heroics on Sunday, the Argentine has been singled out for praise online, with just some of the reaction shown below:
Romero wins the ball and then finds Son with an inch-perfect pass. He’s been so good again today, everything he does is on point. #THFC
