A recent report in Spanish newspaper Sport reads out as if it has been written by an Arsenal fan on Tuesday. The paper used to previously pick a European Team of the Week though these days the just pick out a star, ‘Estrella’, a supporting cast – ‘Asteroids’ and a crashed star – ‘Estrellado’. This week’s edition also featured the same style of writing.
It seems now that Arsenal winger Alexis Sanchez is the Estrella this week, with his outstanding performance against Manchester United on Sunday. The Chile international was brilliant during the convincing win, as he scored two of the club’s three goals in a 3-0 emphatic win at the Emirates.
Sport further pointed out that the 26-year-old forward has scored more goals in his last two games than in his previous 21, which could only mean that the much needed rest has paid off. The unfortunate Estrellado of this week is Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane, which the Spurs’ fans would surely not agree on.
Sport picked Kane as the villain for his cracker of an own goal at the weekend, which was quite hilarious for the England striker to concede to say the least. Also, he has struggled to put in performances at the same level as last year in the current campaign.
