Tottenham Hotspur fans have torn into Hugo Lloris on Twitter.
Tottenham Hotspur fans have ripped into Hugo Lloris on Twitter.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side survived a scare to beat Stoke City 2-1 at the Bet 365 Stadium on Saturday and strengthen their grip on a top-four finish in the process.
But the victory was not as easy as the form guide would have suggested prior to kickoff.
Two second-half goals from Christian Eriksen, either side of Mame Biram Diouf’s equaliser, ultimately led to the three points, but the manner of Diouf’s equaliser has irked Spurs fans.
The French goalkeeper was largely at fault with a botched clearance in the lead up to the goal, and fans of the North London club have slated Lloris – on £120,000 per week – on Twitter.
Here is some of the reaction:
Lloris is undoubtedly the finest goalkeeper that Tottenham have had in many, many years, but his latest gaffe doesn’t bode well.
It should be noted that the former Lyon man has made horrific errors in the past and invariably bounced back, so Tottenham fans calling for his shirt might be a bit premature.
Despite this mistake, he is still a much better option than Michel Vorm or Paolo Gazzaniga.
