Hugo Lloris has stated he would love to see Tottenham net a last-minute winner against Arsenal in the North London Derby on Thursday evening. Going into the encounter four points behind the Gunners with three games of the season remaining, it really is a must-win match for Spurs in order to keep their Champions League aspirations alive.
A draw would give Tottenham a mountain to climb in the final two fixtures and also see them requiring favours from elsewhere, while a win for Arsenal and it will be game over for Antonio Conte's men. Coming out on top in the last two derby clashes on home soil, the Tottenham captain is now dreaming of a late winner to spark pandemonium inside Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
“Football is about 90-95 minutes, you can’t really choose the right moment to score,” said the World Cup winner when speaking to William Hill. “Obviously the best dream is to score in the last minute and to put the crowd up – but that’s ideally. The most important thing is to win. It’s going to be exciting, it’s a special game for us and the fans. I can’t wait.”
