Goalkeeper subbed off after 15 minutes
On Tuesday, Tottenham travelled to Spain to face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Tottenham’s usual number one, Guglielmo Vicario, was dropped to the bench with Antonin Kinsky set to make his first appearance in the Champions League. However, the Czech had the worst start possible as he slipped trying to clear within six minutes, leading to a Marcos Llorente goal.
Unfortunately, that wouldn’t be the only mistake Kinsky made. In the 15th minute, Atletico went 3-0 up as Julian Alvarez was left with an empty goal at his beckoning following another slip and scuffed clearance from the Spurs goalkeeper. After the second error, Kinsky was subbed off for Vicario, with manager Igor Tudor coming in for criticism for the decision.
Following the game, Kinsky received plenty of message of support from greats such as David de Gea and Thibaut Courtois as well former England number one Joe Hart.
Jorgensen error costs Chelsea
One day later another second-choice goalkeeper in London made a costly error in the Champions League. This time it was Chelsea's Filip Jorgensen, who travelled to Paris to face PSG. The World Champions were drawing 2-2 with the European Champions after 74 minutes before Jorgensen’s poor pass resulted in a Vitinha goal, which set the tone for a ruthless PSG performance in the dying embers, as the game ended 5-2.
Arthur Okonkwo impresses Hollywood Stars
On Friday night, Wrexham hosted Swansea in an all-Welsh affair. Wrexham would go on to win the game 2-0, maintaining their spot in the play-offs. It was goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo that impressed Wrexham owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney who were both on commentary for Sky Sports. The Englishman made a fantastic save during the game that both Ryan and Rob enjoyed. It had looked like Wrexham’s defence may have finally been breached before Okonkwo's intervention. Could we see him in the Premier League next season?
Donnarumma keeps City hopes alive
On Wednesday, Manchester City played Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League Round of 16. City were 3-0 down at half-time thanks to a Federico Valverde hat-trick. On the hour mark, Vinicius Junior had the opportunity to make it 4-0 after he was fouled by Donnarumma inside the penalty area. The Brazilian stepped up but was denied by the Champions League winner, keeping any hope in the tie for Man City slimly alive.
Ramsdale keeps clean sheet in vital win
On Saturday, Newcastle United travelled to Stamford Bridge for a Premier League clash. The Magpies showed the quality and fight that’s been limited on the road so far this season as they won 1-0. Aaron Ramsdale had a great game as he kept a clean sheet and played a huge role in delivering the Toon’s fourth away win in the league this season. Most notably, his distribution and in particular long ball play, was outstanding. Many Newcastle fans are calling for his signing to be made permanent on social media. Do you agree?
