Last night, Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris had one of the greatest saves that you’ll ever see. It happened during the UEFA Champions League group stages clash against Bayer Leverkusen on this Javier Hernandez shot on goal. It preserved a 0-0 draw, giving Spurs a single point instead of none.
Watch below as Hugo Lloris denies former Manchester United man Chicharito in potential “save of the year” award nominee fashion.

This goal less draw had much more entertainment value than 0-0 dreck we saw from Liverpool and Manchester United; although that match also featured an amazing stop by David de Gea that you really must see.
Hugo Lloris admitted that he needed luck, in addition to skill and talent, in order to pull off that amazing save.
“You need a bit of luck in that kind of action and this time I saved the goal,” Hugo Lloris told BT Sport. “It was a key moment but it was not the only one.
“We should have scored in the first half and then the game would have been much different.”
“I think we all want to go back to Wembley. The first game against Monaco is still in our minds and we want revenge for everyone and all the fans, they deserve more.”
