Tottenham captain Lloris breaks France record

Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris has become France's most capped player.

For victory over England, Lloris made his 143rd appearance for Les Bleus.

He is now the player who has played the most matches for the French national team.

Lloris therefore overtakes Lilian Thuram, who in the period from 1994 to 2008 played 142 international matches for France.

Lloris, 35, made his debut for France back in 2008 in a friendly against Uruguay.
