Guglielmo Vicario and Tottenham fire back at Callum Wilson comments after Newcastle triumph
Both Tottenham Hotspur and their goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario have fired back at comments made by Newcastle United forward Callum Wilson, following their 4-0 win on Sunday.

During the game, Wilson and Vicario seemed to have words a number of times, and following the full-time whistle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, goalkeeper Vicario could be seen clashing with Wilson. Having to be
ripped apart by teammates, Following several collisions during the match, Wilson criticized Wilson’s actions and said that the summer signing for Spurs was “pulling faces” during the match.
He said to Sky Sports, “There’s a way to win.” “During Pickford’s rambling during Newcastle’s defeat at Everton, we witnessed it. There was a lack of respect and the goalie was pulling faces. We move on, I’ve said my piece, and we’re grown men.”
Since then, the Italian goalie has used social media to respond to the Newcastle forward. The 27-year-old explained in an Instagram post that good sportsmanship is a quality that must be acquired.
”Respect is given, to everyone that respects me,” wrote the Lilywhites goalkeeper. It’s not the first time Wilson himself has been accused of a lack of respect given his choice words regarding Spurs striker Richarlison over the last 12 months.
