Martin Keown not impressed by Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario
Tottenham managed a 2-2 draw against Everton in the Premier League on Saturday (03 February) at Goodison Park.
In the end, Guglielmo Vicario proved to be the weak link as Everton equalised in the 94th minute, lifting them out of the drop zone, despite two goals from Brazilian forward Richarlison for the north London club against his former team.
Tottenham was easily winning all three points even if they weren’t playing at their most dominant. They had complete control of the game, but Everton fought to the very end and managed to equalise.
Martin Keown criticised Vicario, saying the custodian ought to have performed better on the BBC Final Score (which was shown by BBC Sport). He believes that the 27-year-old goalie, who makes £75k a week, is “costing them points.”
Tottenham is losing goals from set-pieces because of [their custodian] Guglielmo Vicario. “He ought to have performed better [on both Everton goals],” Keown remarked.
Disappointing
In the end, Tottenham was disappointed with the outcome. They should have defended more effectively, according to Ange Postecoglou. It will be detrimental to the team vying for a Champions League spot to give up a goal in the 94th minute.
Though some teams have seen a weakness in Vicario, he has proven to be a dependable custodian for Spurs. He often becomes out of control when he is the physical target, and that is exactly what happened today against Everton.
The Toffees scored from a corner in the first half after Vicario failed to adequately clear the threat. He lacked the guts to knock the ball away from his line for the game’s winning goal.

Tim Sherwood fumes at what Ashley Young did in Everton v Tottenham
The actions of Ashley Young, a winger for Everton, at Goodison Park on Saturday, February 3, infuriated former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood.
Sherwood was impressed when Sean Dyche selected the Englishman for the right flank, but he was also incensed because the team he wanted to win the game was given a few obstacles.
Sherwood, however, could not get his way at the end as the hosts pulled off a thrilling late tie, leaving the game at 2-2.
Sherwood stated, “He’s a nasty player,” during the Premier League Productions halftime show on March 2, 2013, at 13:27. He has a way of getting beneath the resistance. today disturbed the Spurs player.
Had his moments
Young had his moments against Tottenham, but his play also made clear his flaws and the reasons Everton shouldn’t depend on him as a starting player.
Even though he was playing on the right side, the veteran was unable to create good crosses into the box; in the first half, he only managed two of his nine tries to find the goal.
Everton’s offensive threat was hampered by their ineffectiveness in serving the striker.
Furthermore, Young had a distinct weakness in his game—his passing accuracy was decent from close range but poor while sending crosses.
Furthermore, the 38-year-old’s problems go beyond just one game; he has struggled all season long despite starting at right back.
He is a liability in the starting lineup due to his inability to continuously produce at a high level in both offensive and defensive areas.
.
Since the Toffees need to win in order to avoid relegation, Dyche ought to think about his options because there are undoubtedly 14 or 15 better outfield players at the team than him.
