Tottenham manager Mourinho defends Lloris: Best goalkeeper in the Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho called Hugo Lloris the 'best goalkeeper in the Premier League' following Sunday's draw with Crystal Palace.

The Frenchman could not hold Eberechi Eze's free-kick which allowed Jeffrey Schlupp to equalise in the 1-1 result.

"My goalkeeper is the best goalkeeper in the Premier League so I would never be critical of the best goalkeeper in the Premier League, period," said Mourinho.

"If I have to blame anybody, I have to blame ourselves, the team. The ones that win, the ones that draw and the ones that lose."
