Tottenham boss Conte stands by Lloris after Arsenal howler

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is standing by goalkeeper Hugo Lloris after defeat to Arsenal.

An own goal by Lloris set the Gunners on their way to a 2-0 win.

Conte said, "In this situation it's always difficult.

"I think that it's not positive to be focused on only one situation or two situation. Football I know is this and sometimes you can do positive and save many situations positively but honestly I consider Hugo one of the best keepers in the world and it can happen.

"It can happen that sometimes you can make a mistake. For sure when there is the mistake of the keeper it is more visible. Hugo for us is a one of the players who is really important for the dressing room, for his personality because we are talking about a player who is one of the best keepers in the world."
