Spurs news: Hugo Lloris accepts responsibility after mistake against Liverpool

Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris had an evening to forget at Anfield. The Frenchman could only parry a Mohamed Salah header straight into Toby Alderweireld in the final minutes of the game.

The ball trickled into the net to give Liverpool an undeserved win. Tottenham were the better side, especially in the second half, and should have scored more than the one goal at Anfield.

Lloris wanted to move on from the error and was looking forward to the next game, which is our home tie against Crystal Palace (h/t Sky Sports):

“When you are a goalkeeper, you know the responsibility. It’s like this. Of course you question yourself.

“The good thing is that you know there is another game in three days, so you need to switch off about today and prepare the next game. I think it’s the best way to forget.”

The captain added that he tried to catch the ball twice, and unfortunately it hit Toby. The keeper also highlighted that luck was on the side of the hosts, and they somehow didn’t concede a second goal despite our domination.

Fans still backing Lloris

The Tottenham captain hasn’t had a great season after lifting the World Cup with France in the summer. Lloris had his run-in with the law regarding drink-driving, and has made a few errors in the campaign.

The former Lyon keeper is still an excellent shot-stopper and has had some fantastic games for us this season.

Although he was at fault for the second goal we conceded, some fans didn’t pin all the blame on the captain and claimed he was a quality keeper.
