EPL: Very Embarrassing – Hugo Lloris Slams Tottenham Players After 6 -1 Defeat To Newcastle
Hugo Lloris, the captain and goalie for Tottenham, criticized the team’s performance after Sunday’s humiliating Premier League loss to Newcastle United.
Lloris felt the team were “a mess” and embarrassed after the Magpies humiliated Spurs.
At St James’ Park, Spurs fell behind in the second minute, then 5-0 within the next 21 minutes.
For the visitors, Harry Kane scored only a consolation goal, and Callum Wilson, a replacement, gave the hosts a sixth goal.
“It’s very embarrassing. The first thing is that we should apologise to the fans who travelled,” the Frenchman told Sky Sports.
“To concede five goals in 20 minutes. You can get punched once, twice, you can concede, but on the pitch it was something strange
“We cannot hide ourselves behind the club’s problems. We are players, we are professional.
“Today there was too much lacking in all aspects.”
