Spurs struggle continues as Arsenal Secure 4-1 win

Tottenham's struggles continued as they fell to a defeat against Arsenal, with Vicario saying the team 'didn't fight' Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario apologized to fans for the team's lack of fight in their 4-1 defeat to Arsenal.

“They expected us to fight and today we didn't fight. That's not negotiable to do in football in this level...”

Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has apologized to fans for the team's lack of fight in their 4-1 defeat to Arsenal. Vicario said, “We didn't fight, and that's not negotiable at this level.”

The Italian goalkeeper also acknowledged that the team didn't show their usual level of performance, saying, “Tonight, we didn't show the things we are normally capable of.” Tottenham's struggles were evident, with an expected goals total of just 0.07, the lowest in the Premier League this season.

Eberechi Eze scored a hat-trick for Arsenal, while Richarlison scored a consolation goal for Tottenham. The defeat leaves Tottenham ninth in the table, having won just three of their last 11 games.

“A very bad night for us. First of all we have to apologise to the people that support us every day,” the Italian said.

“They expected us to fight and today we didn't fight. That's not negotiable to do in football in this level.

“It's a tough night, a very bad defeat.”

Tottenham's struggles continued as they fell to a 4-1 defeat against Arsenal, with their defensive setup leaving them vulnerable to counter-attacks. Richarlison's stunning goal was a rare highlight in an otherwise dismal performance, as the team failed to create meaningful chances. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario made several impressive saves, but it wasn't enough to prevent the loss.

The defeat has left Tottenham with an uphill task, facing Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain away from home on Wednesday. The team will need to regroup and refocus quickly if they hope to turn their fortunes around.
