Hugo Lloris and Lucas Moura helped Tottenham Hotspur to a point against Manchester City over the weekend.
Hugo Lloris has praised Lucas Moura for showing his 'character' and 'personality' during Tottenham's 2-2 draw at Manchester City over the weekend.
The 27-year-old, who started Spurs' opening day win against Aston Villa, came off the bench and scored within 19 seconds of coming onto the pitch.
Despite the drama in the end in regards to VAR, that goal ended up proving to be vital for Spurs because it helped them pick up a valuable point against the Premier League champions.
Speaking on Sky Sports PL (17/08/2019) straight after the match, Lloris praised Moura as he shared what was said during the VAR drama at the end of the match.
"Lucas [Moura] deserves a lot of credit," Lloris told Sky Sports. "After he scored our second goal, he showed his personality and his character.
On what was said between him and the referee after VAR incident: "I was just asking him, 'what is happening?'. And then I had a look at the big screen then we realised that there was a handball, so it's good for us and a little unlucky for City. We just need to enjoy the moment."
It could be argued that Tottenham's clashes against the likes of City are more suited to Moura's style of play because of the space that is behind the defence.
At the weekend, Spurs will travel to the North East to take on Newcastle United, who have lost their opening two matches of their Premier League campaign.
There's no doubt that Steve Bruce will set-up in a defensive manner, with bodies behind the ball, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Moura, who signed from PSG for £23 million in 2018 [BBC Sport], start from the bench once again.
