Aside from Enzo Fernández's performance at Chelsea, there was another Argentine protagonist of Saturday's day on date 23 of the Premier League.
It was
Carlos Alcaraz
, the former Racing man who has been on the rise since his arrival at Southampton a couple of weeks ago, and scored his first goal in his debut as a starter in the English League, although the team from the extreme south of the island missed it. an incredible match against
Wolverhampton
, who came back from behind 2-1.
Alcaraz put the locals ahead after 26 minutes, after capitalizing on a loose ball in the area and finishing off dryly at the near post of the rival goalkeeper, who could not avoid the goal.
'Charly' ran with open arms towards the stands where the fans let off steam with the shouts, as they were excited to break the streak of just one win in the last nine games.
Everything was on track, then, for Alcaraz to be the hero of Southampton, even more so when the Wolves led by Unai Emery expelled Mario Lemina for protesting.
However, in the last 15 minutes of the match, Bednarek against his fence and the Brazilian Gomes made the visitor celebrate, who reached 23 points in the table, eight more than Southampton, who is still bottom.
Another Argentine who was active this Saturday was the world champion
Alexis Mac Allister
, who had a good performance but could not help Brighton to a victory on their visit to Crystal Palace (1-1).
It was won by a goal from March, but it was quickly equalized by Tomkins.
Arsenal and another tie
Arsenal did not go beyond a draw against Brentford (1-1), signed their third consecutive setback in official matches and generated the first doubts of the season at a key moment that could end this week with the loss of leadership.
The point was a scant booty for the Gunners, who still hold a six-point lead over Manchester City.
However, Pep Guardiola's team has a golden opportunity in the coming days to strengthen themselves in the Premier League: if they beat Aston Villa this Sunday and beat Arsenal themselves in a direct duel on Wednesday, they will occupy the first position.
Those led by the Spanish Mikel Arteta went ahead with a goal from Leonardo Trossard, only at the far post, shortly after the hour of play (66), but the almost neighboring Brentford, 8th and in the race for a ticket to European competition , reached equality after a succession of headers that culminated Ivan Toney.
