Jamie Carragher strongly criticized goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after Tottenham’s 1-1 draw against Liverpool on Sunday in the Premier League.
Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a free-kick goal to give Liverpool the lead. Carragher believes the Italian goalkeeper could have done much more.
He said, via Football.London: “We don’t see enough direct free-kicks scored these days, but there’s absolutely no doubt Liverpool have a free-kick specialist.”
“I mean, he is a specialist, but I tell you what, Tottenham haven’t got a goalkeeping specialist. It’s not far off the middle of the goal. You’ve got to save that. Wow. That is awful, absolutely shocking from the goalkeeper. Tottenham have got huge problems in goal.”
