'You have to be ready to fight': Hugo Lloris criticises Tottenham for a lack of aggression in Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea but challenged team to turn tie around in second leg

Hugo Lloris said Tottenham failed to show fighting spirit in their 2-0 defeat to Chelsea which left them on the brink of elimination from the Carabao Cup.

The Spurs captain was particularly scathing of the way Tottenham started the game, with Kai Havertz giving Chelsea the lead in only the fifth minute at Stamford Bridge after pouncing on a sloppy pass from Japhet Tanganga.

Things got worse later in the first half, with Ben Davies scoring an own goal after colliding with Tanganga.
