Gabriel Agbonlahor issues four-word response to Everton v Tottenham incident
Gabriel Agbonlahor believes the officials made the right decision to allow Jack Harrison’s goal to stand as Everton earned a 2-2 draw against Tottenham.
The Toffees fell behind to an early Richarlison goal before Harrison equalised when Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goalbound header hit him on the goal-line.
But there were appeals from Spurs that goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario had been fouled in the build-up from the corner, but talkSPORT pundit Agbonlahor was swift in his response to those claims with a four-word reply.
“No foul soft keeper,” he wrote on his personal Twitter account (3 February).
Tottenham weakness
Everton seemingly stumbled upon a weakness in the Tottenham team during the game and took advantage of it from this corner, with the goalkeeper struggling with any sort of physical contest.
He was flapping at crosses, failing to get defenders away from him and it was a tactic that the team really should have worked on more regularly throughout the game.
Instead it seems as though they didn’t want to overdo it even though it was working, and in the second half they earned less corners and stopped crowding him when they did get them.
The decision was spot on though from the officials on this occasion but Harrison barely touches Vicario and we have seen a host of goals given already this season that were far worse than that.
Unfortunately the goal didn’t go to Calvert-Lewin but it did help the Toffees get the result they needed, so for once we can thank the officials.
