Tottenham Hotspur’s coach Mauricio Pochettino hailed goalkeeper Hugo Lloris’ ‘brilliant’ display to rescue an away point in their goalless draw at Bayer Leverkusen. After a quiet first-half which his side dominated, the Frenchman had a busy second 45 minutes as Leverkusen fired in 16 shots at the Spurs goal. Pochettino singled out Lloris’ outstanding display saying, “Some brilliant saves from our keeper kept us in the game. I can only say good things about him.”
