The league’s best Welshman put the Pigs ahead early, and Big Rom scored a decent penalty to double the lead. The Elves went route one and left Icardi with some work to do, but a clinical finish brought them back into the game. Only briefly though, as Aguero tucked home a lovely poacher’s effort in reply. Onto the second half and it was Aguero again, almost like he had a point to prove. Pulisic was on fire with assists today.
