“Tottenham’s treasure” – A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans are praising Hugo Lloris’ performance on Saturday from the 2-2 draw with Manchester City at the Etihad.
The Frenchman was kept rather busy all afternoon as City peppered his goal with 30 shots – ten of which were on target.
Lloris, however, could do nothing about Gabriel Jesus’ ghost winner that VAR disallowed for handball.
Though the decision benefitted his team, Lloris looked somewhat baffled and explained in his post-match interview that he did not understand why the goal did not count.
The 32-year-old though made some superb saves to deny Rodri and Oleksandr Zinchenko but he did almost gift City a goal.
The former Lyon man flapped at a corner, and Bernardo Silva lobbed him, only to see the ball rebound off the bar and drop into Lloris’ gloves.
Despite this dodgy moment, a lot of Tottenham fans were delighted with Lloris’ performance.

MVP of the game. He had a busy day getting shelled by City. May need new gloves after that one.
