Jamie Carragher was left very impressed with one Tottenham Hotspur star in the 1-1 draw with Leeds United on Monday night.
Spurs may look back on the clash against Leeds as two points lost, with the home side having the chances to win the game.
The visitors equalised due to a lapse in concentration from goalscorer, Mathys Tel, who attempted an overhead kick inside Tottenham’s own box, catching Ethan Ampadu in the process.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted from the spot, and despite pushing for an equaliser, Roberto De Zerbi’s men couldn’t quite break through, and now go into their final two games just two points off the drop zone.
Antonin Kinsky just made one of the saves of the season for Tottenham
Carragher believes a point is not a bad result for the home side, given some of the chances Leeds had towards the end of the game.
The pundit opined that Antonin Kinsky’s reaction stop to parry Sean Longstaff’s attempt onto the crossbar is one of the saves of the season so far.
The Liverpool legend told Sky Sports: “I think that point will feel a lot better in the morning, when they reflect on the game. You think of the save from the keeper, Kinsky, from Longstaff onto the bar – that is one of the saves of the season. The two saves he made, one in the first half and one in the second, has made sure his team have got what could be a vital point.”
Has Kinsky displaced Guglielmo Vicario as Spurs’ number one?
The 23-year-old also made an outstanding first-half save after a well-worked corner by Leeds, keeping the ball out by mere inches when it seemed destined for the bottom corner.
Roberto De Zerbi declared ahead of the game that Guglielmo Vicario remains Tottenham’s number one, but the Czech goalkeeper has not put a foot wrong, and he has delivered in big moments over the last few weeks.
It will be difficult for the Spurs boss to leave Kinsky out of the team when Vicario returns, as he will be aware that one wrong decision could be the difference between staying up and going down.
