Ben Foster watched one of Tottenham Hotspur’s key players produce a ‘worldie’ moment which saved Ange Postecoglou’s team against Bournemouth.

The decisive moment in the match allowed Tottenham Hotspur to salvage a poiಞnt at home to the Cherries as they came from behind to draw 2-2 in North London.

Spurs produced one of their worst first-half performances under Ange Postecoglou, how🎉ever, in t෴he second 45 minutes the team showed fight to work their way back into the match.

But, Foster claims the Lilywhites would have almos෴t certainly left empty꧑ handed if it wasn’t for a special moment from one of their best players in the early stages of the match.

Ben Foster lauds Guglielmo Vicario’s ‘worldie’ save vs Bournemouth

Ben Foster has lauded the ‘worldie’ save made by Guglielmo Vicario to deny Evanlison giving Bournemouth the lead after just ꦏ20 seconds.

Cristian Romero’s sloppy pass gifted the Brazilian a one-on-one in the very early stages of the match, ꧋however, 🐻Vicario was on hand to produce the save.

Throughout the match, Vicario demonstrated his importa🥀nce to Postecoglou’s tea🎀m as he produced several other top draw saves.

Foster told The Cycling GK Podcast: “It’s a worldie save! The only way he’s saving that is because he’s not guessing, he’s anticipati𓃲ng it and there’s a big difference between guessing and anticipating.

“He can sꦉmell it, he’s looking at everything, he’s assessed the whole situation, Vicario, he’s looked at the body position of the player.

“He’s anticipated it enough to get a✨ little step there before he’s even kicked it, it’s a worldie – we’re talking finger tips.”

Guglielmo Vicario tops Premier League chart for goals prevented

Vi🐻cario’s remarkable stop again𓆉st the Cheirries means that he is now top of the Premier League chart for most goals prevented.

The 28-year-old added 0.54 goals prevented to his tally as he made six saves against the Cherri🐓es, as he kept Postecoglou’s side in the game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Vicario, who cost Tottenham £17m, continues to prove how much of a miss he was during his three months꧂ on the sideline with an ankle injury.
