While waiting for the classic between
Manchester City
and
Manchester United,
which this Sunday will face each other at the Etihad Stadium at 12:30 in Argentina, the 27th round of the
Premier League
opened and, as usual, there was important participation of Argentine soccer players.
The highlight was the
goal by Cuti Romero,
who scored with a header, appearing inside the area like a lifelong striker, in
Tottenham
's 3-1 home victory against Crystal Palace.
The former Belgrano de Córdoba
is the defender with the most goals (4) in the English league.
In this way, the Spurs consolidate themselves in fifth place, in qualifying positions for the UEFA Europa League, and wait for a setback by Aston Villa to get closer to the Champions League.
Tottenham started losing due to Eberechi Eze's goal in the 59th minute of play, but in a streak they turned it around thanks to goals from Timo Werner (77'), Cristian Romero (80') and Heung-Min Son (88' ).
Rodrigo Bentancur,
the Uruguayan former Boca footballer,
started and
Giovani Lo Celso entered in the second half.

In another match of the day, with the participation of the world champions,
Alexis MacAllister
was key in Liverpool's victory against Nottingham Forest.
The game was tied 0-0 and the eight minutes of stoppage time that referee Paul Tierney had given had already expired, when MacAllister appeared, always with more time, to create space and place a
cross with surgical precision at the head of Darwin Núñez, who scored the agonizing 1-0.
The area was populated by rival defenders and even some of his own teammates, because the play came from a corner, but that was not an impediment for the footballer who emerged from Argentinos Juniors to give a highly complex assist.
As things stand, Jurgen Klopp
's team
remains at the top with four points ahead of Manchester City and with one more game.
ALEXIS'S ASSISTANCE.
DARWIN'S HEADBUT.
THE AGONIC TRIUMPH OF LIVERPOOL.
