Lloris urges Tottenham to kick on after intense derby win over Arsenal

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has implored his teammates to carry on with their brilliant recent form following Sunday's North London derby triumph over Arsenal.

Spurs beat the Gunners 2-1 at White Hart Lane to extend their undefeated streak to 12 matches but Lloris wants kick on after such an intense victory against their arch rivals.

"It was a great game with great intensity, I could feel that on the pitch," Lloris told the club's official website.

"It's an important win. I think we kept control during the game, maybe we had some difficulty the first 20 minutes but we didn't concede a lot of opportunities after the first and second goals.

"After the Arsenal goal we kept good intentions to the end of the game but we had a great lucidity and it was a great performance.

"We're all happy with the three points but the season is not finished; we have to continue in this form."
