HUGO LLORIS says Tottenham must learn to control games if they want to be a “top team”, but insists results are more important than performances in the first half of the season before the World Cup.
Spurs took a big step towards qualification for the Champions League knockout stage with a 3-2 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt last night, but what should have been a routine second half finished edgily, after the 10-man visitors scored in the 87th-minute and Harry Kane missed a penalty.
Spurs came from behind to establish total control inside half-an-hour through Heung-min Son’s brilliant double and a successful Kane spotkick, but failed to have a shot on target after Tuta was sent off on the hour.
Lloris was left with mixed feelings about a result which put Spurs top of Group D, but says the most important thing is to still be in the competition when the season resumes post-Qatar.
