Vicario's Heroics Deny Monaco in Tense Champions League Clash
22 Oct
Summary
- Tottenham escape with a crucial Champions League point
- Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario makes eight impressive saves
- Monaco dominate possession and create numerous chances

Tottenham Hotspur have escaped from Monaco with a crucial Champions League point, despite being outplayed by their Ligue 1 opponents for much of the game. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was the hero for Spurs, making a series of impressive saves to keep the score level.
Monaco dominated possession and created numerous chances, with Folarin Balogun and Jordan Teze both denied by Vicario. Former Liverpool forward Takumi Minamino also missed a number of opportunities in the second half, as Monaco cut through the Tottenham defense with ease.
However, Spurs' resolute defending and Vicario's heroics ensured they came away with a point, which could prove vital in their Champions League campaign. This result follows Tottenham's dramatic comeback to earn a 2-2 draw against Bodo/Glimt last month, and they remain unbeaten in the competition so far this season.

While the performance may leave some Tottenham fans questioning the team's style of play, the point gained from one of their toughest away fixtures will be welcomed by manager Thomas Frank. With two winnable home games and a difficult trip to Paris Saint-Germain still to come before Christmas, Spurs will be hoping to build on this result and secure their place in the knockout stages.
