Nicolás Domínguez scored his first goal for Nottingham Forest in their 1-1 draw vs. Brentford.
Domínguez got his first goal for his new club, a header to get Forest back into the game. With Brentford leading 1-0 and with Forest playing with 10 men, it was a cross into the penalty area and it was the Argentine who scored to draw them level.
The 25 year old joined Forest from Bologna in the last transfer window. Gonzalo Montiel was an unused substitute for Nottingham Forest.
Lautaro Martínez scored four goals for Inter in their 4-0 win vs. Salernitana.
Martínez started the match as a substitute for Inter but changed the entire outcome when he was brought on. With the score at 0-0, the Argentine was brought on for Inter and scored the four goals in the game.
The Argentine now has nine goals and two assists in seven league matches as he is Inter’s top scorer.
Julián Álvarez scored a free kick for Manchester City in their 2-1 loss vs. Wolves.
Álvarez now has two free kick goals for Manchester City, this one a well placed effort. The Argentine continues to be one of Manchester City’s best players, if not their best player.
With Wolves leading 1-0, Manchester City were awarded a free kick and it was the World Cup winner who took it and scored to draw City level. Wolves would score minutes later and win the match but it was another solid performance by the Argentine.
The 23 year old has three goals and four assists in seven matches in the Premier League, starting in all seven games.
Ángel Di María scored for Benfica in their 1-0 win vs. FC Porto.
Di María is the ultimate big game player. Scoring in the World Cup final, the Copa America final and the Finalissima, he continues to do well in the big matches, this time scoring in the biggest match in Portuguese football.
It was a low pass into the penalty area which found the Argentine who scored for the fourth consecutive league match for Benfica.
