Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has admitted that his drink driving charge brought him closer to his manager.

Lloris was arrested in London for driving while intoxicated, but avoided a serious punishment.

He is sorry for his lapse in judgment and admits that it lead to a heart to heart with boss Mauricio Pochettino.

"It is a special and strong relationship, and has been from the start -- ever since his first telephone call after the 2014 World Cup," the 32-year-old told L'Equipe.

"I was immediately convinced.

"I remember Manchester very well. I know what happened from the inside, and he was there, as were his staff. It's an accident that serves as a lesson to you, and you move on.

"There was a lot of reaction, but you have to stay outside of all that. I made a mistake. I accept it and I'm still accepting it, because 20 months without your licence -- now I have all the taxi apps."
