What Lloris Said After Liverpool Blunder

Tottenham Hotspurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has accepted blame after his error late in Anfield gave Liverpool all the three points. The France goalkeeper accepted he must take the blame for the incident but is at least relieved that, with Tottenham opening their new stadium against Crystal Palace in midweek, he will not have to wait long to make amends.

"When you are a goalkeeper, you know the responsibility," Lloris told Sky Sports. "It's like this. Of course, you question yourself. The good thing is that you know there is another game in three days, so you need to switch off about [Liverpool] and prepare the next game. I think it's the best way to forget.

"I tried to catch the ball twice but unfortunately there was no bounce, it bounced straight to the shin of Toby. And then what happened happened. The luck was probably on the opponent's side. "It's tough because we made so much effort to come back in the game. We had a few chances to score the second goal, but then on a set-piece, we conceded this goal. It's a bit sad for us."
