The Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper was his side’s hero on Saturday.
Jermaine Jenas has admitted on BT Sport that he doesn’t know how to feel about Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
Lloris was Tottenham’s saviour in Saturday’s North London derby after denying Arsenal all three points by saving a stoppage-time penalty from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
It was an excellent all-round display from the France international, who came in for criticism following Spurs’ defeat by Chelsea in midweek.
The 32-year-old has been blowing hot and cold for much of this season, after winning the World Cup last summer.
And former Tottenham midfielder Jenas admits that he’s a mixed bag.
“I don’t know where to sit with Hugo,” he told said on BT Sport.
“In midweek he should have done better and today you’re like, ‘God, I love you’. What a save that was in such a special moment.”
On his day, Lloris is as good as any Premier League goalkeeper, but consistency – or a lack of – has plagued him this season.
Next up for Mauricio Pochettino’s side is the second leg of a last-16 Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund in Germany, with the Lilywhites leading 3-0 from the first leg.
Despite the healthy advantage, the former Lyon stopper will have to be on his game on Tuesday again. If he’s not, the unthinkable could happen for the North Londoners.
