Lloris admits Arsenal 'smashed' Tottenham: We lost complete control

Hugo Lloris has admitted Tottenham got "smashed" in the north London derby on Sunday.

Arsenal were in dreamland at half-time after scoring three goals in the opening stanza.

Tottenham fought back in the second-half to make it 3-1, but it was too little too late for Nuno Espirito Santo's side.

Spurs skipper Lloris said: "We lost complete control in the first half. We got smashed and then had a good reaction.

"It's frustrating and very disappointing. It's the moment to stick together and carry on. The players were ready but we lost a bit of control. We lost balance in the middle of the pitch."
