Hugo Lloris explains why Tottenham have been so passive but what was incredible against Leeds

Hugo Lloris believes Tottenham's mentality was incredible in their victory against Leeds and thinks Dejan Kulusevski is going to be an important player in the second half of their season.

Spurs came from behind three times on Saturday before winning 4-3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to ensure they went into the World Cup break fourth in the Premier League table and in the last 16 of the Champions League. Lloris believes that this frantic run of 13 matches in 43 days with the added pressure of the Champions League run has left Spurs tired and reactive in recent games.

"It’s been very hard. We put so much energy into the group stage of the Champions League that as you could see in the last few games of the Premier League we lacked a bit of aggressiveness and intensity. We were a bit passive, always reactive," explained the Frenchman.
