Goalkeeper Antonín Kinsky suffered a nightmare UEFA Champions League debut for Tottenham Hotspur against Atlético Madrid on Tuesday after being substituted just 17 minutes into the round-of-16 tie after conceding three goals and committing two huge howlers.

The Czechia U21 international’s performance was so humiliating that former England and Spurs keeper Joe Hart, calling the game for TNT Sports, said he was “heartbroken for the lad” after coach Igor Tudor hauled him off following his disastrous start.

Kinsky’s substitution ties the earliest a goalkeeper has ever been replaced in the knockout stages (Gregory Coupet, Lyon, 2004 round of 16). Tottenham’s 3-0 deficit after 15 minutes was the earliest that a team had been so far behind in a Champions League knockout-stage match, and their four goals conceded in 22 minutes were the second fastest in Champions League history (Real Madrid vs. Dinamo Zagreb in November 2011).

Kinsky, 22, had been handed his first appearance since a 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat at Newcastle United last October by Tudor, who had dropped first-choice Guglielmo Vicario after the Italy keeper had conceded 13 goals in a five-game losing streak.

But a slip by Kinsky gifted Marcos Llorente the opening goal for Atléti on six minutes, and a minute after Antoine Griezmann made it 2-0 on 14 minutes, Kinsky mis-kicked a clearance to allow Julián Álvarez to make it 3-0.

Tudor then replaced Kinsky with Vicario and the Spurs coach refused to look at the young keeper as he left the pitch.

“I’ve been trying to make sense of it,” former Spurs, Manchester City and England keeper Hart said. “My heart is absolutely broken for him [Kinsky].

“He had a horrible 14 minutes, that slip and the third goal. I don’t know what to say. I am just heartbroken for the lad.”

Paul Robinson, also a former Spurs and England keeper, echoed Hart’s comments while calling the game for BBC Radio Five.

“Wow, wow, wow!” Robinson said. “I have never seen that on a football pitch. What a huge call from the manager Igor Tudor. Yes, the goalkeeper was at fault but that is confidence destroying for Antonín Kinsky.”
