Cristian Romero has had better days than the one he endured against Arsenal in Sunday’s north London derby.
Recently hailed as the ‘best defender in the world’ by compatriot Lionel Messi, this isn’t the kind of performance the Argentine superstar was referencing.
The former Atalanta man opened the scoring for Arsenal with an unfortunate own goal as he sliced a Bukayo Saka strike into his own net.
After half-time, things got even worse when he gave away a penalty as a wayward arm in the area denied Ben White a goal.
Per Opta, that double dose of disaster means he’s just the 11th player in Premier League history to score an OG and concede a penalty in the same game.
He is also the first Tottenham man to do so.
