Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris had a dig at their tactics for defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.

Despite Erik Lamela giving Spurs the lead with an outrageous rabona strike, the Gunners ultimately emerged victorious after goals from Martin Odegaard and Alexandre Lacazette.

Speaking to RMC Sport, Lloris admitted that he was "expecting a little more" from his team-mates and that they "did not feel free".

He said: "We were expecting a little more, to see another Tottenham. I think that we can be proud of what we did when we were down to 10 men, because that is when we increased our levels of intensity and aggression.

"And we pushed our opponents into making mistakes, we could have equalised with a little more luck. But before that, it was a match I feel that was played with a lot of fear.

"I felt like we did not feel free and Arsenal were able to profit. Two teams in a lot of doubt. And in the end, Arsenal won at home."
