Spurs insist Lloris was fit to continue

Tottenham have defended their controversial decision to keep Hugo Lloris on the pitch at Goodison Park on Sunday after he was knocked unconscious in a collision with Everton’s Romelu Lukaku.

The Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA), world governing body FIFA and international players’ union FIFPro all condemned Spurs on Monday for failing to substitute the France goalkeeper after he was knocked out cold by Lukaku’s left knee in an accidental collision.
