Even though Tottenham Hotspur was defeated by Manchester United in the current round of the Premier League, with a score of 0-2, British journalists highlighted Romanian central defender Radu Drăgușin.
The Romanian defender played for over an hour in the match in England, taking advantage of the captain Romero’s expulsion in the 32nd minute. The Romanian international came in at the 32nd minute, replacing Odobert, with the Argentine Romero receiving a red card for a harsh foul on Casemiro.
Drăgușin made some good interventions in his own box and was praised by the English press at the end:
"He coped well with United's wave attacks. He couldn't reach Dalot's cross for the second goal," wrote Football London about Drăgușin, giving him a rating of 6.
"He came in for Odobert after Romero's expulsion and went straight to the center of the defense. Throughout the game, he had many interceptions and blocks. There was nothing to be done to prevent United's two goals," also wrote the portal Spurs Web about the Romanian defender, also giving him a rating of 6.
Drăgușin receives very good news now, as he has the chance to start in several matches, as captain Romero will be suspended for 4 matches, being a repeat offender. Newcastle United, Arsenal, Fulham, and Crystal Palace are the next opponents for Spurs, who are not in an excellent position in the league, currently sitting in 14th place.
