Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris says they expected a battle at Olympique Marseille after Tuesday night's Champions League win.

Spurs finished first in their group as they won 2-1.

Lloris said, "To be honest, we expected that type of game. It was a very difficult place to deal with and I think we showed great personality.

"In the second half we had a good game and Clement Lenglet scored an important goal in France in front of the French people and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is so important to confirm that top of the group.

"It was a tough night, a great battle and even more psychological battle because we could feel in the first half a team was playing without the fear to lose, it was Marseille, and in the second half we had a team that was fearing to lose and it was us.

"Also I believe that when we had to face difficulties, we showed great personality and it's a great result.

"Without our coach it was even more difficult for him in the stand and it's a great winning team - that's the most important thing."
