'Needed to': Sky pundit wowed by 'vital' £12m Tottenham ace in Bournemouth defeat

Pundit Michael Dawson has reserved special praise for Tottenham Hotspur captain Hugo Lloris for his brilliant save to keep Bournemouth forward Marcus Tavernier’s venomous strike out.

After grinding a 2-1 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion last Saturday, Cristian Stellini’s men were brought back to earth with yet another disappointing display in their 3-2 defeat.

However, it seems like pundit Michael Dawson was seriously impressed by Tottenham Hotspur No.1 Hugo Lloris for his save to stop Bournemouth winger Marcus Tavernier from initially equalising.

However, Spurs were troubled by Marcus Tavernier, who got a dangerous shot off from outside the box after beating his man that seemed to be travelling into the roof of the net.

As Hugo Lloris tipped the ball over, pundit Michael Dawson gave the Tottenham goalkeeper the credit he deserved for his incredible stop against Bournemouth.

“Lloris needed to be alert to tip over Bournemouth’s first strike on target. It’s a fine save from the Frenchman”, he said on Sky Sports.

HITC View: Lloris must up his consistency

While the World Cup winner has proven himself as a world-class shotstopper in the past, over the past couple of years, he has become one of the most error-prone goalkeepers in the league.

However, as the £12.3 million (Daily Mail), described as a ‘vital’ priority to keep at the club by Dawson last year man showed in Qatar, he is still capable of being an unstoppable force in between the sticks.

Pundit Michael Dawson certainly saw that in action from Tottenham skipper Hugo Lloris against Bournemouth, and lauded his herculean effort.

But considering just how accomplished the 36-year-old has been in the game for years, he must recapture his form to ensure Spurs do not potentially part ways with him.
