‘Doesn’t even look real’ – Tottenham fans can’t believe what Guglielmo Vicario did in 2-1 win v Everton
Tottenham fans can’t believe what Guglielmo Vicario did in their Premier League triumph against Everton on Saturday (23 December).
The remarkable Italian pulled off a vital stop in the 86th minute from former Spurs man Arnaut Danjuma’s looped effort while the Toffees were mounting pressure to seek a late equaliser.
Tottenham secured a 2-1 win at home against in-form Everton, but their goalkeeper was crucial across the game with multiple heroic stops.
Across the 90 minutes, Vicario made seven saves, three successful run-outs and three high claims in the latest of his excellent displays since his £17.2million summer move from Empoli.
Spurs have bounced back from their recent slump in form which saw no wins and four defeats in five consecutive games and have won their last three games in the league, and their victory against Everton gave fans the perfect Christmas gift.
First-half goals from former Everton ace Richarlison and Son Heung-min put Spurs ahead, but pressure reached fever pitch after Andre Gomes netted in the 82nd minute to give Sean Dyche’s outfit a fighting chance.
However, Ange Postecoglou’s side held on for the win which took them to fourth in the Premier League table – and their sensational shot-stopper rightfully took plenty of credit for getting the three points.
Fans have taken to social media to hail their “incredible” goalkeeper for his “elite” save.
