#2 Lloris does a Bravo

Hugo Lloris conceded two goals through his own mistakes

Even though City started strong, they failed to make the most of their opportunities. After the first half had ended goalless, the home side was fortunate to get the lead through a massive Hugo Lloris blunder. The French goalkeeper is one of the best custodians in the league and the mistake was uncharacteristic as he failed to clear the ball away leaving it for Leroy Sane who promptly scored.

Many many have tuned into the game in the hope of witnessing yet another 'Claudio Bravo Premier League Classic' but it was Lloris who was putting on the real show as he failed to deal with yet another ball just five minutes later. As the keeper scrambled to get a hold of the ball, it bounced away falling into the path of Kevin de Bruyne who gave City the two-goal lead.

Even though Bravo conceded as many goals, it will be the Frenchman who will be scrutinised for his lapse in judgement. After all, he has kept nine clean sheets this season one of which includes a 2-0 victory over City at White Hart Lane.
