Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg believes Hugo Lloris was “reckless” in Wednesday night’s stalemate with PSV Eindhoven, as Tottenham Hotspur dropped pointsลิ้ ง sbo[ in their third consecutive Champions League game. Spurs’ hopes of progress to the knockouts currently hang in the balance as they find themselves third in Group B with only one point from a possible nine.As for Lloris, the long-serving goalkeeper was sent off for a dangerous tackle on Hirving Lozano which forced manager Mauricioลิ้ ง sbo Pochettino to sacrifice Son Heung-Min for Michel Vorm to replace Lloris between the sticks. Tottenham were winning 2-1 at the Philips Stadion but couldn’t hold on and conceded to finish the game 2-2.
After the match, Pochettino didn’t want to single out any player for criticism, but Clattenburg believes Lloris can have no complaints for his poor decision-making. Writing in a column for the Daily Mail, he said: “Hugo Lloris was correctly sent off after charging out of goal and taking down Hirving Lozano. He was reckless and denied a clear and obvious goal-scoring opportunity.”Tottenham have three games to save themselves in the Champions League, return fixtures against PSV, Inter Milan followed by a trip to the Nou Camp to face Barcelona. Given they’ve lost two of their first three games in the competition, elimination from Group B looks a real possibility.
