The Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper has some fans back on side.
Paulo Gazzaniga came to Tottenham Hotspur’s rescue this afternoon.
Jose Mourinho’s side looked in big trouble when Jan Vertonghen conceded a penalty with 20 minutes to go at Watford today, when the score was 0-0.
But the Tottenham goalkeeper denied Troy Deeney from 12 yards as Spurs ultimately returned to North London with a point following the drab draw.
Gazzaniga has been more miss than hit in recent months despite proving an admirable deputy for Hugo Lloris initially after the Frenchman’s injury.
But he came up with the goods today and here’s how fans of the North London club reacted to the Argentine’s heroics on Twitter.
Hopefully for Tottenham this will lead to Gazzaniga – a £2 million signing in 2017 [The Sun] – enjoying a surge in form.
As mentioned, he has had a difficult few weeks, including in the defeat by Chelsea last month, but this was a reminder that he can be an asset for the Lilywhites and Lloris – who’s now back in training – could have a fight on his hands to get the gloves back.
