TOTTENHAM fans raged at goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after he made a horrendous mistake to hand Fulham an early 2-0 lead.
Spurs were hoping to bounce back from their dismal 4-1 loss to Arsenal in the North London Derby against the Cottagers on Saturday night.
But they went 1-0 down in the first four minutes through Kenny Tete‘s deflected strike – and Vicario’s moment of madness gifted Fulham a second two minutes later.
The Italian rushed out of his box and attempted to make a clearance under pressure from Raul Jimenez.
But he gave the ball straight to Josh King, who had the simple task of knocking it back to Harry Wilson to sweep brilliantly into an empty net from distance.
His glaring mistake infuriated Spurs fans, with some urging Thomas Frank to take him off immediately.
One angrily demanded on X: “Sub Vicario off right now.”
A second said: “What on EARTH is Vicario doing.”
A third wrote: “0-2. Unacceptable. Vicario what are you doing.”
Another post questioned Vicario’s work ethic after making the initial mistake.

It read: “Vicario’s reaction is absolutely disgraceful, he doesn’t even bother sprinting back…”
Sky Sports commentator Alan Smith was baffled by the error from Vicario.
He said: “Vicario is getting absolute pelters from his own supporters. He makes a complete hash of his clearance. Wham, bam – what a start.”
Vicario has been guilty making errors this season and there have been some calls from fans to bench him in favour of back-up option Antonin Kinsky.
Spurs were at sixes and sevens early in the game as Fulham hit the post through Samuel Chukwueze.
And Marco Silva‘s team should have had a third as Chukwueze missed a gilt-edged chance to slot into an empty net after rounding Vicario, with Mickey van de Ven making a last-ditch tackle.
Before this game, Spurs were on a winless run of three games in the Premier League.
