Cristian Romero could be in for quite a surprise the next time he sees Tottenham teammate Emerson Royal. Victorious on Sunday as they beat West Ham 2-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the right wing-back had a major say on Spurs registering all three points after netting the opener in the London derby.
Racing upfield after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg had played in Ben Davies with a precise pass, the Welshman put the ball on a plate for his teammate to coolly slot in beyond Lukasz Fabianski. The goal put Spurs on their way to an important victory in the top-four race, with Son Heung-min wrapping up the victory four minutes after coming off the substitutes' bench as he calmly slotted the ball past the West Ham shot-stopper.
Emerson's celebration was a big talking point as many fans pointed out what Romero did to Spurs' No.12. Having been grabbed by the collar by Richarlison, Emerson then received a kick on his backside from the Argentina international.
