Overview
- The 13-second video showed Guglielmo Vicario’s long free-kick sailing out for a Fulham goal-kick, captioned with lines including “Just how the play was drawn up,” “An interesting free-kick from Vicario,” and “Whoops” with laughing emojis.
- Multiple outlets reported Tottenham lodged a formal complaint, and the clip was taken down on Monday morning; both the club and the Premier League declined to comment to at least one publication.
- The post, uploaded late Sunday, drew hundreds of thousands of views on X before deletion as supporters questioned why the competition’s official account mocked one of its own clubs.
- The incident lands during a fraught spell for Spurs, whose 2-1 defeat at Fulham marked a fourth straight league loss and a 10-match winless run, leaving them four points above the relegation zone.
- Reports on the backlash also noted Igor Tudor’s sharp post‑match comments, including criticism of officiating and his labeling of Raul Jimenez as a “cheat.”
