Pundit Andy Townsend has named Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario in his team of the week after his performance against Luton Town.
Speaking on TalkSPORT (9/10 9:55am), Townsend and Ally McCoist were discussing the weekend’s action.
Tottenham were the early kick-off on Saturday, giving them the opportunity to go top of the Premier League.
In the first few minutes they should have put the game to bed, however, some poor finishing from Richarlison and Pedro Porro gave the hosts the chance to grow into the game.
However, matches like the one on Saturday highlight how much of an improvement there’s been in defence as well.
Guglielmo Vicario is quietly garnering a reputation as one of the most reliable goalkeepers in the Premier League.
Vicario was superb against Luton and has replaced Tottenham legend Hugo Lloris with ease.

Naming his five-a-side team of the week, Townsend said: “In goal, lots of good performances out there as ever.
Luton had the ball in the back of the net but it was correctly ruled out for a push on Cristian Romero.
In the end, it was Micky Van de Ven who earned ten-man Spurs a vital victory after some quick footwork to guide another James Maddison assist into the back of the net.
Much has been made of the way Ange Postecoglou has set up his side to play on the front foot on every occasion.
