The Premier League deleted a 13-second video from its official X account on Monday morning. The clip featured Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario mishitting a long free-kick during Sunday's 2-1 defeat by Fulham. Captions on the footage included the phrases "Just how the play was drawn up" and "Whoops" alongside laughing emojis.
Tottenham officials lodged a formal complaint after the video attracted nearly 400,000 views and significant online criticism. While the club accepts public scrutiny, it felt the league's official channels should remain neutral. The video was removed at approximately 9:00 am on Monday, according to the Evening Standard.
Spurs currently sit 16th in the table and have lost four consecutive top-flight matches. New head coach Igor Tudor remains without a win in 2026. Neither Tottenham nor the Premier League offered official comments regarding the deletion of the post, per reports from Mirror Football and Goal.
