The Spurs star recorded 76 passes, 84 percent pass accuracy, three tackles won, one interception, one blocked shot, 11 clearances, four aerials won and seven duels won.

Spurs fans, Argentina supporters and neutrals alike were blown away by Romero’s latest heroics:

Romero joined Tottenham in the summer from Atalanta, having won the Serie A Player of the Season award last term.

Romero then won Copa America with Argentina and established himself as one of the first names on the team sheet under Lionel Scaloni.

With Antonio Conte now at Spurs, it’ll be exciting to see how Tottenham progress over the course of the season.

And no doubt Romero will continue to have a big campaign for club and country.
