More and more Argentines are playing in the English Premier League, perhaps the most competitive tournament in the world, and more and more smiles come as a result of good performance.
This Saturday, in a day with seven games, there was a lot of action in light blue and white.
And the balance was highly positive.
Goals were shouted by
Marco Senesi
,
Carlos Alcaraz
and
Alexis Mac Allister
, who also provided an assist.
In addition,
Dibu Martínez
celebrated a victory with Aston Villa and left with an undefeated fence.
Enzo Fernández
achieved his first victory with Chelsea.
For his part, among those who did not have the best of days,
Cristian Cuti Romero
completed 90 minutes in Tottenham's defeat against Wolverhampton.
And
Julián Álvarez
became a full-time bench again in Manchester City's victory over Newcastle.
But better to go in parts.
The day of Saturday began in the Etihad Stadium.
There,
City beat Newcastle 2-0
, whose starter was Paraguayan Miguel Almirón, former Lanús.
Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva scored the goals for Pep Guardiola's team, which only made one variant of the five possible.
It was, precisely, the entry of Bernardo by Kevin De Bruyne.
Julián Álvarez watched the entire match from the audience.
With that victory, the Citizens put pressure on Arsenal at the top of the table.
However, the
Gunners
sang
Resistiré
and achieved a hard-fought and valuable 3-2 win over
Bournemouth
, who opened the score after 9 seconds with an appearance by
Philip Billing
and already stretched the distance in the second half with a scoring header from former Saint Lorenzo
Senesi
.
Arteta's team never gave up and tied with goals from Thomas Partey and Ben White.
It seemed that the story would end 2-2, but
Reiss Nelson
in the seventh minute of added time scored a violent kick and Arsenal took the three points to maintain the five difference over City.
At the same time, Tottenham left empty-handed from their visit to Wolverhampton, who won 1-0 with a goal from Adama Traoré.
Cuti Romero
completed the 90 minutes in Antonio Conte's team, which remains fourth for now and in the Champions League position.
Also at the same time there was football in Birmingham, the land of the Peaky Blinders.
And there
Emiliano Dibu Martínez
lowered the blind on his goal and Aston Villa beat Crystal Palace 1-0 thanks to a goal against Joachim Andersen.
Emiliano Buendía
, who has just been summoned by Lionel Scaloni to return to the National Team,
also started in the Villains and completed the 90 minutes .
With a great goal at Stamford Bridge by
Wesley Fofana,
Chelsea beat Leeds United 1-0 and not only took some of the pressure off manager Graham Porter, but also allowed Enzo Fernández to get his first win as a Blue.
The former River was replaced 7 minutes from the end.
It was just the second win of the year in 11 games in all competitions for Chelsea, who sit in the middle of the table despite spending $630 million in the last two transfer windows.
The one who shone as he did at the World Cup in Qatar was Alexis Mac Allister, who scored a penalty goal and provided an assist in Brighton's 4-0 win over West Ham, where Manuel Lanzini barely played 16 minutes.
Facundo Buonanotte also had action at the venue, another who will have his chance in light blue and white in the friendlies against Panama and Curaçao.
He entered in the last quarter of an hour when the game was sentenced.
Finally, in the duel that closed Saturday, Southampton beat Leicester City 1-0 and the only goal of the game was the work of former Racing
Carlos Alcaraz
.
With this victory, the port team, which had Willy Caballero on the bench, is no longer the only bottom: it has 21 points and equaled the line of Everton and Bournemouth, one below Leeds United.
