Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris: A big disappointment

Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris admits they were stunned in defeat to Burnley on Saturday.

The Clarets opened the scoring shortly after half-time when Chris Wood headed in Dwight McNeil's inswinging corner.

Spurs striker Harry Kane - making his first appearance since 13 January - equalised after latching on to Danny Rose's quick throw-in and poking past Tom Heaton, but Ashley Barnes tapped in Burnley's second late on.

Lloris said: "Obviously it is a big disappointment. Today was a good opportunity for us and we missed it. It was a tough game. We expected a battle.

"We conceded the first goal and it makes things harder. Especially when you concede a corner that didn't exist. It is part of the game."
