Hugo’s French howler
HUGO LLORIS committed a stoppage-time gaffe for France to hand Sweden a surprise World Cup qualifying win at the Friends Arena last night. With the score locked at 1-1, the Tottenham keeper inexplicably darted out of his area and hashed his clearance to Ola Toivonen, who lobbed him from the halfway line to spark delirious scenes in Stockholm. France had led through Olivier Giroud’s sumptuous volley before Jimmy Durmaz’s equaliser. Elsewhere, Andorra earned only the second World Cup qualifying win in their history, stunning Hungary 1-0. The shock result ended a 66-match winless run in competitive fixtures.
