The Premier League has deleted a controversial social media post about Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after significant fan backlash. The league's official X account posted a video on Sunday night showing Vicario sending a free-kick downfield during Tottenham's 2-1 loss to Fulham, accompanied by the sarcastic caption: "Just how the play was drawn up."

The video, which included the words "an interesting free-kick from Vicario" followed by "whoops," drew widespread criticism online. Tottenham immediately contacted the Premier League to complain about the post, arguing that the league should not mock its own teams and players. The post was removed early Monday morning.

This incident comes at a difficult time for Tottenham, who remain just four points above the relegation zone after their fourth consecutive defeat. The London club has now gone ten league matches without a win and faces Crystal Palace at home on Thursday in a crucial fixture that could determine their season's trajectory.
