Lisandro Martinez at Manchester United

Darwin Nunez’s suspension following his red card for Liverpool against Crystal Palace may have spared Lisandro Martinez another examination of his aerial ability on Monday Night Football but the two Premier League newcomers share something if not a pitch.

The struggles of both have been held up as proof of Premier League exceptionalism, the idea that the peculiarities of the English game are so distinct that experiences elsewhere are rendered redundant. Nunez had never been roughed up like this.

A clip of him appearing increasingly flustered due to the close attention of Joachim Andersen has garnered almost five million views on Twitter. The Uruguayan was never sent off for Benfica despite having to deal with the veteran Pepe of all people. This, they say, shows that the Premier League is different.
