Hugo Lloris is widely considered, alongside David de Gea and Petr Cech, as one of Premier League’s best goalkeepers. This after the Frenchman’s form has been crucial to Tottenham Hotspur’s improvement over the last two seasons.
However, on Saturday, Lloris had a shocker, gifting Manchester City two goals through some calamitous goalkeeping.
Spurs showed tremendous spirit after Lloris’ errors to fight back from 2-0 down and claim a draw, but that must have only left them wondering what could have been had their goalkeeper been at his best.
While Lloris has cut out the mistakes in the last two seasons, these stats show that the Frenchman has been among the Premier League’s most error-prone keepers during his time in England, belying his lofty reputation.
Highlighting this is the tweet below from our friends at WhoScored.com.

Simon Mignolet has regained his starting spot at Liverpool in recent weeks, which means that two of Chelsea’s title challengers have the two keepers with the most errors to lead directly to a goal.
How crucial will Lloris’ errors against Manchester City be come the end of the season?
