Cristian Romero tackled Enzo Fernández getting red carded and Enzo asking to get substituted.

Romero was having a good match for Tottenham as they even took the lead against Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea. The entire match had many incidents but this one in particular involved Argentina fans.

The 25 year old went for the ball inside his own penalty area but with the ball also close to Enzo’s feet, Romero would end up sliding onto Enzo’s ankle. The referee would go to VAR and the decision was a red card.

Enzo would continue the match but 11 minutes into the second half, he would ask to be substituted. He did not require a stretcher and walked on his own but with Argentina playing two World Cup qualifying matches this month, Lionel Scaloni, his coaching staff and Argentina fans will be awaiting the news on his status.

The match would prove to be a memorable one with four goals disallowed. Chelsea would score on the penalty given by Romero and Tottenham would get another record card as Chelsea would get the 4-1 win.
