Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris was once again in the spotlight as his side lost to another “top six" team in the Premier League.

A wretched record for Spurs against other so-called top six teams got worse against Manchester City on Thursday.

Despite having a 2-0 lead away from home at half time, Spurs capitulated and lost 4-2.

One of the goals involved Riyad Mahrez striking the ball from a tight angle to Lloris' near post.

While the ball did take a slight deflection, many expected Lloris to make a save.

“I can't complain. You're a professional and you just follow a rhythm," he told the Evening Standard in an interview.

“But obviously when you're involved with the national team and you go until the last day of the World Cup, you come back and miss mental freshness. But you need to get back on track and help your team.

“When you look at the Arsenal goal, I can be in a good position but the deflection hit the ball on my chest and with the spin it goes over [the line]. It's something that even if I wanted to do on purpose, I can't. Even last night, when you look at the third [City] goal, a deflection makes the ball go over my knee.

“At any moment I try to anticipate, just setting and waiting. There are a lot of things like that happening to our team. It's a period where we need to stick together, keep working and hopefully bring the luck back."
