Tottenham's French captain Hugo Lloris has offered his support to Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera after his blunder on Friday.

Muslera pushed Antoine Griezmann's shot into the net for France's second when he really ought to have saved it.

"He is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and he has done fantastically for Uruguay," said Lloris.

"The ball moved and that is part of the game, part of being a goalkeeper, there is nobody behind to save you.

"The ball they are using in the World Cup is very fast. You need to think quickly as a goalkeeper and with this ball you need to think very quickly — when to punch, when to catch.

"This is something else we have had to adapt to our game since coming here."
