Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has accepted full responsibility for his costly mistake in Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to Fulham. The Italian's error gifted the visitors their second goal inside six minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
After Kenny Tete opened the scoring for Fulham in the fourth minute, Vicario rushed out of his penalty area to clear the danger but his clearance went straight to a Fulham player, who set up Harry Wilson to slot home into an empty net.
Vicario released a statement on Instagram saying: 'I take full responsibility for the second goal we conceded. Moments like this hurt, especially when the results aren't going our way. Now more than ever, it's time to fight even harder and give everything for this club. COYS.' Former Spurs midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg showed his support with a white heart emoji.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Vicario said: 'Look, it's part of football. I am a big man, I am quite older. We cannot be influenced by which is the situation in the stands. The fans have the right to do what they think.' However, Fulham boss Thomas Frank criticised the booing from some Tottenham fans, saying: 'I didn't like that our fans booed at him straight after and a few times after that. They can't be true Tottenham fans because everyone supports each other when you're on the pitch.'
