1 Besiktas di pentas Liga Europa, Jumat (3/10) dini hari WIB. Hugo Lloris pun meminta rekan satu timnya untuk segera mengalihkan fokus ke Premier League.

Spurs sebenarnya berpeluang memetik kemenangan saat menjamu Besiktas di White Hart Lane. Akan tetapi, gol larut Demba Ba dari titik penalti menggagalkan kemenangan Tottenham Hotspur.

Di pertandingan Premier League terdekat pasukan Mauricio Pochettino akan menjamu Southampton. Hugo Lloris berharap Tottenham bisa membayar kekecewaan di pentas Liga Europa di pertandingan tersebut.

"Itu adalah pertandingan sulit menghadapi tim besar Turki dan mungkin imbang adalah hasil yang pantas. Ini adalah sepak bola, terkadang Anda tidak bermain bagus, namun perlu mengetahui bagaimana caranya untuk menang," kata Lloris.

"Kami hampir berhasil menang, namun kami kebobolan dari tendangan penalti jelang laga berakhir. Akan tetapi, sekarang kami harus kembali fokus ke pertandingan besar melawan Southampton.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has urged his teammates to "refocus" their attention on the Premier League after being held to a 1-1 draw by Besiktas.

Spurs were denied all three points late on when Demba Ba converted from the spot to cancel out Harry Kane's first-half opener this evening.

Mauricio Pochettino's side return to domestic action on the weekend when Southampton visit White Hart Lane, where they will be looking to put their Europa League disappointment behind them.

"It was a tough game against a big Turkish team and maybe the teams deserved to draw," Lloris told ITV Sport. "It's football - sometimes you don't play a great game but you have to know how to win.

"Today we went close but we conceded that late penalty. But now we have to refocus on a big game on Sunday."

Tottenham drop down to third place in Group E following the draw.
