Vicario the star as Spurs limp to draw with Monaco
Guglielmo Vicario put on a goalkeeping clinic as Tottenham gutted out a goalless draw with Monaco at Stade Louis II in the Champions League.
The Italian made eight saves in total as the host peppered the visitor's goal in what was only coach Sebastien Pocognoli's second game in charge.
It was a frustrating evening for the likes of Folarin Balogun and Takumi Minamino, who were unable to find that clinical edge as Spurs earned a point they scarcely deserved.
Vicario denied Balogun at his near post in the 10th minute and had to claw one off the line from Maghnes Akliouche's lobbed cross soon after.
Balogun and Akliouche then combined to put the former through one-on-one, only to be denied by another fine stop from Vicario, and he was again thwarted by Spurs' keeper with a shot inside the area soon after.
It was a similar pattern after the break, with Vicario denying Aleksandr Golovin's bending effort and Thilo Kehrer glancing a header wide from the resulting corner.
Vicario pulled off a stunning point-blank save from Jordan Teze's six-yard header before Minamino missed two clear chances, the latter of which he blasted over when it fell kindly for him in the penalty area.
