Postecoglou says there is a ‘misconception’ about his demands on goalkeepers and is confident veteran back-up can play his football

Tottenham Hotspur's brilliant and dominating 4–0 dismantling of Manchester City at Etihad Stadium didn't go as smoothly as many originally thought, as it was confirmed that goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario underwent surgery after fracturing his ankle during the victory.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has admitted Guglielmo Vicario’s serious ankle injury was a shock but has backed the squad to cope. The goalkeeper fractured his ankle during Saturday’s remarkable 4-0 win at Manchester City and will not play again until the new year.
