Tottenham goalkeeper Vicario spotted furiously berating his own team-mates in stands after howlers against Man Utd

TOTTENHAM goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was spotted reacting furiously following Fraser Forster’s second howler last night.

Ange Postecoglou’s side dumped Manchester United out of the League Cup following a 4-3 thriller in North London.

Spurs had been cruising 3-0 on the hour mark thanks to Dominic Solanke’s double and a goal by Dejan Kulusevski.

But the Red Devils were gifted a route back into the game following two Forster clangers.

The first of the veteran’s errors came on 63 minutes, when he received a pass from stand-in centre-back Archie Gray.

Forster attempted to pass the ball to Radu Dragusin with his left foot, but got it all wrong.

Bruno Fernandes pounced on the loose pass and squared it across for Joshua Zirkzee to poke home.

Just seven minutes later, Forster committed an even worse error.

Again receiving a backpass from Gray, the former Celtic stopper took an age to launch a goal kick.

By the time he did, Amad Diallo was on him – with the winger sliding in to block the clearance into the net for 3-2.

At this moment, cameras showed Vicario watching on from next to the dugout.

The Italian, 28, has been sidelined since fracturing his ankle during the 4-0 win at Manchester City last month.

Watching on between Mikey Moore and Destiny Udogie, the Spurs No1 muttered furiously after Man Utd’s second goal.

It is unclear whether he was angry at Forster for his errors, or at Spurs defenders for putting the veteran in those situations.

Tottenham restored a two-goal advantage on 88 minutes, when Son Heung-min’s brilliant corner looped straight over hapless United deputy stopper Altay Bayindir and in.

Jonny Evans nodded United back to 4-3 in stoppage time, but Spurs were able to hold on to book a place in the semi-finals.

After the final whistle, Vicario hobbled over to Forster with his crutches.

The animated goalkeeper appeared to console his mate on the pitch following the dramatic match.

Vicario is expected to be missing until February at the earliest.

Forster will have plenty of opportunities to atone between now and then, ahead of academy products Brandon Austin and Alfie Whiteman.

Asked if he would consider bringing in a free agent goalkeeper in the wake of Vicario’s injury, Postecoglou said last month: “That’s not going to happen. That’s why we’ve got a squad of players here. I don’t think signing a free agent now is going to help us.

“Fraser I’ve known for a long time and he’s such a strong character within the group and ready to play. Brandon’s improving all the time and Alfie’s been at the club for a while.

“Whenever they’ve been asked, in terms of the training capacity they bring, we’re happy with what we’ve got.”

Spurs also have Josh Keeley, who memorably scored in the FA Cup earlier this season, on loan at Leyton Orient – while Luca Gunter, 19, is highly-rated at the club.
