Tottenham fans have reacted furiously after Antonin Kinsky gave away a penalty in a 4-0 loss to Liverpool, with a replacement wanted.
Spurs went into the second-leg of their Carabao Cup tie against Liverpool with a slender 1-0 lead on aggregate.
Lucas Bergvall had given Tottenham a lead in the tie, but it all came crumbling down in the second-leg.
Liverpool opened the scoring through Cody Gakpo, before Kinsky came flying out to intercept a pass, only to bring down Darwin Nunez.
Mohamed Salah then converted the penalty to give Liverpool a 2-0 lead. The Reds would go on to seal their place at Wembley thanks to goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Virgil van Dijk, winning 4-0 on the night.
Tottenham fans want Guglielmo Vicario back after Liverpool loss
Kinsky struggled to deal with a dominant Liverpool, and the Czech goalkeeper’s blunder highlighted the issue of Guglielmo Vicario’s absence through injury.
The Italian goalkeeper has been a stalwart for Spurs since joining in 2023 from Italian side Empoli.
Vicario’s injury is part of a larger issue for Tottenham, after Liverpool fans mocked Richarlison for his injury against them.
After the Brazilian went off injured, Mathys Tel who signed for Tottenham on Deadline Day was brought on for his debut, but failed to have an impact.
Spurs’ bad luck continued against Liverpool, as referee Craig Pawson did not give Van Dijk a red card for an elbow on Richarlison.
Tottenham fans posted on social media after Kinsky’s foul, saying the goalkeeper was “not ready for this level”, and that “might not even be better than [Brandon] Austin”.
