Hugo Lloris helped Tottenham Hotspur’s young stars to the standout result of the Under-21 Premier League fixtures on Monday, as they trounced Everton 4-1.
The French goalkeeper completed 90 minutes in the match as part of his recuperation from injury, in which a brace from Alex Pritchard was backed up by goals from Nathan Oduwa and Shaquile Coulthirst, as the young Spurs side got their season underway with a real swagger.
The other matches in the top flight proved to be very tight, as the day's three later games all finished tied. In the second tier, there were vital wins for Derby County and West Bromwich Albion over Blackburn Rovers and Swansea City, respectively; Aston Villa and Stoke City played out a 0-0 stalemate.
