If it wasn’t for Guglielmo Vicario, Tottenham could have lost more points.
Tottenham lost 2-4 in the 19th round of the 2023-24 Premier League against Brighton held at Amex Stadium in Brighton, England at 4:30 a.m. on Saturday (Korea time). Due to the defeat, Tottenham ranked fifth.
In general, goalkeepers would not be free from the responsibility of crushing defeat if they had scored four goals in one game and lost the game. This is because goalkeepers’ duties are to minimize the number of goals lost by their teams.
However, Vicario may be the only Tottenham player free from responsibility for defeat in this match. Amid the absence of Christian Romero, Tottenham’s defense was shaky from the start. Tottenham faced a crisis of losing a point just five minutes into the first half, and Vicario saved their team each time. Vicario stopped Danny Welback’s shot in the fifth minute of the first half and also hit a decisive shot from Welbeck one minute later.
Vicario, who showed signs of reflexes, failed to block Jack Hinselwood’s cannonball shot at the 11th minute of the first half. Vicario shone even after losing the point. Even Joao Pedro’s powerful shot at the 17th minute of the first half failed to penetrate Vicario.
He allowed the second run through a penalty kick. Vicario shone again just before the end of the first half. Pedro Poro’s ridiculous back pass allowed Pedro to have a perfect one-on-one chance. Pedro attempted to shoot half a beat late to deprive Vicario of the timing of his jump, but Vicario even responded.
Pervis Estupinan’s fantastic shot in the 18th minute of the second half was a trajectory that even Vicario could not block. His fourth goal was also saved by PK. Vicario completely secured the goal except for a goal that the goalkeeper couldn’t help.
England’s Football London gave Vicario eight points after the game, the highest score in his team. “He saved wellback’s shots twice. He scored four goals but showed good defense,” he said highly of Vicario.
Vicario moved to Tottenham this season and has been praised for always saving the team. With James Medicine sidelined for a long period of time due to injury, Vicario is increasingly considered Tottenham’s best recruit this season. 랭크카지노
