Loads of fans are rightly praising Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for his superb performance for France as they beat Spain in last night’s Nations League final.
The Spurs shot-stopper was one of France’s most important players on the night as he made some smart stops in the second half to keep Spain out in a thrilling and evenly-contested game.
