'Useless rule' - Tottenham fans react as Hugo Lloris Leicester penalty save ruled out by VAR

Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris turned from hero to villain at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday after his penalty heroics were overturned. It got Antonio Conte's men off to the worst possible start as they looked to respond to their first loss of the season in midweek.

That was against Sporting CP in the Champions League, where two injury-time goals gave the Portuguese side all three points from the game. Conte asked for his side to show something different when they come up against the Foxes, saying ahead of the game: "You know very well that we have to try in every game to get a win.

"This has to be our reality, and for this reason, you have to understand that when we lose, we are totally in the opposite side. And for this reason, we have to feel, we have to be a bit angry, and to try and have a good reaction. Because now we have the possibility to play another game in the Premier League, and for us, it's important to get a win, but at the same time, you know you're playing against Leicester.
