Pedro Porro and Giovani Lo Celso hail £42m Spurs player’s display for his country

Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero impressed for his country Friday night as Argentina recorded a comprehensive 3-0 friendly win over El Salvador.

The Spurs🥂 star opened the scoring for the reigning world champions in their exhibition match at the Lincoln Financial Field in Pennsylvania, United States.

Romero๊ broke the deadlock for Argentina in the 16th minute, rising highest above the El Salvador defence and heading home from an Angel Di Maria corner.

ꦏAfter the game, Lo Celso was one of the players who responded to Romero’s Instagram post celebrating the victory.
