Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky shares emotional embrace with his sister in the crowd after keeping clean sheet against Liverpool on debut – just days after joining the club

Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky shared an emotional embrace with his sister in the crowd after putting in an impressive performance on debut against Liverpool.

Kinsky joined the club from Slavia Prague in a deal worth £12.5million just three days ago as they continue to struggle with injuries in defensive areas, and he made his debut on Wednesday night.

First-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is out injured after undergoing ankle surgery, back-up Fraser Forster has struggled and been ill and Brandon Austin was making his debut in the defeat by Newcastle.

Kinsky’s arrival was therefore the first piece of business Spurs did in the transfer window, and he was thrown straight in by Ange Postecoglou and didn’t disappoint.

He made six saves in total, with the pick of the lot potentially from Darwin Nunez as he made himself big from the striker’s snapshot from inside the box.

And at full time, the 21-year-old went over to a section of the home fans and embraced his sister, Andrea, with his father also in attendance.

‘We sensed that [he is confident] when I had my first chat to him before we signed him,’ Postecoglou said post-match. ‘That’s a big occasion for a young man, he handled himself outstandingly.  

Jamie Redknapp said on Sky Sports’ coverage: ‘Really good, it was a big decision to throw him in. He looked calm and confident with his feet and made a couple of good saves.

‘He looks like he will be a good goalkeeper for the future. That’s the emotion of football.’
