It seemed to be well hit and dipping, so why were Sky et al blaming it as a keeper error?

Feck all the keeper could do and his positioning wasn't even particularly suspect, just a really good strike that made the ball wobble in the air.

I didn't think the keeper really had a chance, but mainly because he is so small. On the other hand, I don't think that shot was getting past, say, Donnarumma – but then, had Donnarumma been in goal, maybe Morgan would have hit it better...I mean, I'm sure Vicario is a good shop stopper and a great dressing room presence, but I do find it strange that Spudz have invested so much in a keeper who for unalterable reasons of his physical attributes, will never be top notch, in my opinion.

I suspect he seems smaller as he doesn't have the extremities length like the 1 inch taller Donnarumma. And also doesn't project an invincibility like others do as well.
