Watch: Tottenham legend Hugo Lloris pulls off ‘save of the season contender’
Now at LAFC, former Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris pulled off a stunning save in a recent Concacaf Champions Cup clash—one that could easily be a contender for save of the season.
It has been nearly two years since Hugo Lloris bid farewell to Tottenham Hotspur, bringing an end to a remarkable 12-year stint in north London.
The French shot-stopper made 447 appearances for Spurs before moving to LAFC, where he wasted no time adding silverware to his collection by winning the US Open Cup in his debut season.
Now 38, Lloris remains LAFC’s first-choice goalkeeper, and in their latest Concacaf Champions Cup clash against Columbus, the former Tottenham captain produced a moment of brilliance—one that could easily be considered a save of the season contender.
Hugo Lloris’ incredible stop stuns Columbus
The moment came when Columbus worked the ball down the right flank before delivering a cross to the back post. The ball was met by Arfsten, who powered a header towards goal, seemingly destined for the back of the net.
However, Lloris defied expectations, producing a stunning diving save to palm the ball away before it could cross the line. Watch Hugo Lloris save here:
It was a save that rolled back the years, reminiscent of his best performances in the Premier League.
Lloris is still thriving despite Tottenham exit
The match ended in a 2-1 victory for Columbus, with Russell-Rowe and a Diego Rossi penalty giving the hosts a two-goal cushion before halftime.
LAFC pulled one back deep into stoppage time through Denis Bouanga, but the aggregate scoreline of 4-2 ensured Lloris and his teammates progressed to the next round.
Lloris was a key figure in the contest, making five saves—three of which were diving stops and three from inside the box—proving he is still a crucial presence between the sticks.
