Arsenal legend Alan Smith was stunned as Tottenham fans expressed their anger at Guglielmo Vicario after their Premier League defeat to Fulham.
Tottenham ended up losing 1-2 against Fulham at home on the 30th in the worst start of the game, dedicating two goals in seven minutes. Kenite scored the first goal in the fourth minute of the first half, and the second goal was made by Tottenham goalkeeper Vicario's error.
Vicario stepped out of the box to cut off his opponent's through pass directly into the box. He tried to handle the ball by dribbling, but hesitated amid competition with his opponent and psychological pressure. It brought on a dangerous situation. As the options dwindled, Vicario tried to pass to his side-mate, but his clumsy clearance was unfortunately delivered to his opponent, Fulham. Vicario rushed toward the net, but Fulham Harry Wilson's long shot, which was wrapped toward the empty net, was sucked into the net and lost a point. There was an unprecedented boos from home fans. Several Tottenham fans poured out angry gestures and ayews at Vicario, who was returning to the goalkeeper's position.
The ball was delivered to Vicario again, and as soon as Vicario caught the ball, boos rang out again at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A few minutes later, Vicario chased Fulham's long ball again, this time kicking the ball off the pitch, and he also booed sarcastically from home fans. Whenever Vicario touched the ball, the booing continued. At half-time, there was a greater booing at the end of the game.
Former Arsenal striker Smith said in a Sky Sports commentary that `Vicario is being completely attacked by his own fans"His clearing is a complete mess." "Isn't this hard to see? Fans booed their players just seven minutes into the game. In addition, he was surprised to boo the goalkeeper, who is a key position in the team." "The fans have been unhappy with him, but this time he turned really hard. Vicario is not the only goalkeeper to make such a mistake. "I see a case where goalkeepers often go out and don't make clearings mistakes. "But this mistake overlapped on top of this terrible home ground. This is a result that neither Vicario nor Tottenham wanted. This is definitely going to be the worst moment of Vicario's career. 50,000 home fans booed him.
Mohamed Kudus scored a comeback goal in the second half, but it was not enough to turn the game around. Fulham eventually secured a 2-1 victory, widening the gap with the relegation zone by six points. Thomas Frank's Tottenham fell to 10th place in the Premier League with four losses in six games. It is four points behind the top four, which qualifies for the European Champions League.
Tottenham's only league win at home this season was against promoted side Burnley on the opening weekend. Tottenham have won just three league games at White Hart Lane in the last 12 months, their worst performance by 20 games since the 1990s. This week alone, they lost to Arsenal, PSG and Fulham in a row.

After the game, Vicario acknowledged his mistake and apologized, commenting on the booing. "It's also part of football" "We can't be affected by the crowd's situation. Fans have the right to express what they think. This is our responsibility." "I should have kept calm. There was a lack of composure. It's a tough defeat today and it's hard to accept."
