This Saturday, Rodrigo Bentancur began serving the seven-match ban that the English Association (FA) applied to him for “using abusive and/or insulting words” towards the nationality of his teammate Heung-min Son in a program television in our country.
Despite his absence this afternoon, Tottenham did not miss him as they crushed Manchester City 4-0 as a visitor, being the second time they beat them this season (two weeks ago in the League Cup). James Maddison at 13 and 20 minutes, Pedro Porro at 52′ and Brennan Johnson at 90’+3 scored the goals.
With this result, the Spurs climbed to sixth place by reaching 19 points, while the Citizens, who have lost five in a row in all competitions (the first time in Pep Guardiola’s career) remain second with 23, five less than Liverpool , who play tomorrow against Southampton at home, and one above Chelsea and Arsenal, who also won today.
The Blues beat Leicester City 2-1 as a visitor, while the Gunners beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium. In other games, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace drew 2-2, Brighton defeated Bournemouth 2-1 away, Everton and Brentford finished 0-0, and Wolverhampton, without Santiago Bueno due to injury, beat Fulham 4-1 away from home .
