US EditionEarly Substitution of Keeper Kinsky Necessary, Says Spurs Boss Tudor
Interim coach Igor Tudor replaced Kinsky after three early goals and errors, marking the earliest goalkeeper substitution in Champions League knockout history.
- On Tuesday, Tottenham substituted Antonín Kinsky 17 minutes into their Champions League round-of-16 match at Riyadh Air Metropolitano.
- A slip by Antonín Kinsky gifted Marcos Llorente a goal after six minutes, then mis-kicked a clearance after Antoine Griezmann's 14th-minute strike, allowing Julián Álvarez to score.
- In Champions League terms, Kinsky, 22, was substituted after Tottenham fell three in 15 minutes and conceded four in 22 minutes, tying the earliest goalkeeper change.
- Teammates and staff, including Joao Palhinha, Conor Gallagher, Dominic Solanke, and Dean Brill, chased after Kinsky, while David De Gea publicly supported him on social media.
- Former goalkeepers immediately criticised the move, noting Paul Robinson called Tudor's substitution "confidence destroying" and Joe Hart said he was "heartbroken for the lad" after Tudor chose Kinsky over Vicario.
