Mauricio Pochettino has told the Herfordshire Mercury that Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was fantastic again in his side’s 0-0 draw with Bournemouth.

Spurs managed to pick up a point at Dean Court, despite not playing to the maximum of their ability.

The Lilywhites struggled to create many openings against a Bournemouth side who pressed them well throughout the contest.

In the end, it was Lloris who was the busier of the two goalkeepers on the south coast, but the French international stood up well to everything that was thrown at him.

And Pochettino said: “It was tough for us at the start of the game because they pushed us a lot, but we conceded only one chance and Hugo [Lloris] was fantastic again.

“After 15, 20 minutes we handled the game and in the second half, we were much, much better.”

Lloris’ most notable save in the match came in the first-half, when he deflected a Charlie Daniels’ effort wide with his leg.

Tottenham’s clean sheet means that they remain the side in the Premier League with the best defensive record.

Spurs are currently in fourth place in the top flight standings, but they are only one point behind league leaders Arsenal.
