Guglielmo Vicario had a difficult evening on Saturday evening. During Tottenham’s match against Fulham in the Premier League, the 29-year-old goalkeeper was guilty of an error which allowed the Cottagers to increase their advantage to 2-0, a goal ultimately decisive to give them all three points. Coming out of his cage to beat Raúl Jiménez, Vicario kept the ball for a few moments before sending a clearance to the feet of an opposing player, and Harry Wilson ended up scoring in the empty goal after a serve from Kenny Tete.

Booed by his supporters during the match after this incident, the Italian international reacted with class. “ It’s part of football, I’m a big boy, I’m quite old. We cannot be influenced by what happens in the stands. Fans have the right to do what they think is right. It’s up to us to stay calmer and focus more on ourselves “, he said. Vicario saved Spurs on several occasions last season, allowing them to clinch the Europa League despite a disastrous season in England.
