Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte stood and applauded Hugo Lloris after a moment in the second-half against Leicester.

Spurs got back to winning ways on Saturday as they thrashed the Foxes 6-2 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Heung-Min Son grabbed the headlines with a brilliant hat-trick after coming on as a substitute. 

But Lloris also put in an excellent display between the sticks and made some crucial saves. And one stop in the second-half earned him applause from his boss Antonio Conte.

Conte stood and applauded Lloris

In a video on Tottenham’s official website, Conte stood and applauded Lloris after he denied Patson Daka in the second-half. 

James Maddison delivered a delightful cross into the Leicester striker, who headed towards the bottom corner.

But Lloris got down to deny Daka and Conte can be seen applauding his club captain. 

The 35-year-old put in a solid display against Brendan Rodgers’ men and did save a penalty at the beginning of the game.

But the penalty was retaken and scored by Youri Tielemans after Lloris’ save was ruled out by VAR due to encroaching off his goal line.

The French shot stopper could do nothing about both of Leicester’s goals as James Maddison finished excellently at the end of the second-half.

But once again, Lloris came up big when called upon for his side during Saturday’s game.

Conte will be sweating over the fitness of his captain after Lloris has reportedly suffered an injury ahead of international duty.

The Italian will be hoping that Lloris will be back in time for Tottenham’s next game against their bitter rivals Arsenal.
