Fuming Cristian Romero scores then gets subbed off injured as Tottenham forced to bring on forgotten man

TOTTENHAM star Cristian Romero scored and was then forced off immediately with injury.

The Argentine got Ange Postecoglou’s reign off to a perfect start as he put Spurs ahead after just 11 minutes.

Romero attacked a James Maddison free-kick and headed home, with the goal standing despite a VAR check for offside.

However, the centre-back went from hero to zero as he was subbed off straight after celebrating due to injury.

Romero was involved in a clash of heads as he scored, with Tottenham deciding to take him off as a precaution.

The 25-year-old was left fuming and did not want to continue playing.

Romero had to be waved off by his team-mates and Postecoglou.

And he was replaced by forgotten man Davinson Sanchez.

The Colombian was set to join Spartak Moscow after the two clubs agreed a £13million fee, but the player turned them down.

He has played 205 times for Spurs, yet he started only eight Premier League games last term.

Brentford soon found their way back into the game as Bryan Mbeumo converted a penalty and Yoane Wissa scored.

Emerson Royal then found the back of the net from long-range as the teams went into half-time at 2-2.

That was after kick-off was delayed due to a sanitation issue.
