Don’t stop believing: Tottenham Hotspur can win Premier League title, says goalkeeper Hugo Lloris
Mauricio Pochettino’s side travel to in-form Crystal Palace a day after leaders Chelsea take on Southampton at Stamford Bridge
Hugo Lloris insists Tottenham Hotspur still believe they can win the English Premier League despite the shattering blow of their FA Cup semi-final defeat against title rivals Chelsea.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side left Wembley broken hearted on Saturday after dominating for long periods before conceding two late goals in a dramatic 4-2 loss.
The psychological damage inflicted on Tottenham’s players can’t be underestimated and they have little time to recover as the title race heats up this week.
Second-placed Tottenham are four points behind Chelsea, but the leaders had the chance overnight to extend the gap to seven by beating Southampton at Stamford Bridge before Pochettino’s men travel to in-form Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
While Lloris acknowledged Chelsea now have renewed confidence they can hold off Tottenham’s challenge in the final games of the season, the France goalkeeper is convinced his club won’t surrender without a fight.
