"The footage showed the Italian shot-stopper attempting a long free-kick that sailed harmlessly out of play for a Fulham goal-kick. Accompanying the video was the caption: Just how the play was drawn up followed by the text, An interesting free-kick from Vicario, a laughing emoji, and the word Whoops."
"Spurs' hierarchy felt the tone of the post was entirely inappropriate for an official governing body, especially during a period where the league has publicly championed player welfare and mental health."
"The post quickly went viral, racking up nearly 400,000 views on X alone before Tottenham officials intervened."
The Premier League removed a social media post from its official X and TikTok accounts that appeared to ridicule Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario following a 2-1 defeat to Fulham. The 13-second clip showed Vicario attempting a long free-kick that went out of play, accompanied by captions including "Just how the play was drawn up," "An interesting free-kick," a laughing emoji, and "Whoops." The post accumulated nearly 400,000 views before Tottenham formally complained to league officials on Monday morning. Spurs' hierarchy deemed the tone inappropriate for an official governing body, particularly given the Premier League's public advocacy for player welfare and mental health initiatives.
