Pochettino retains faith in 'one of the best' Lloris despite error-filled campaign at Spurs

Mauricio Pochettino outlined the need for Tottenham to back their players as he offered goalkeeper Hugo Lloris his support after a costly error at Liverpool.

Lloris' latest mistake in an inconsistent season saw the Spurs captain gift Liverpool a 2-1 win at Anfield as he dropped Mohamed Salah's tame header against Toby Alderweireld for a decisive 90th-minute own goal.

But Pochettino, whose side slipped to fourth in the Premier League following Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Newcastle on Monday, defended the France international on Tuesday and insisted he will continue to be a key man for his side.
